When an 18 wheeler truck accident occurs, serious injury or death is likely to follow. Frequently, violations of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations are involved. You need an experienced semi-truck lawyer to establish liability and damages for maximum recovery.
The number of fatal truck accidents has actually increased since 2010 according to data from FMCSA. Often this is due to unsafe hours-of-service regulations, tired, exhausted drivers on the road. Catastrophic and even fatal accidents still occur every day in Barren County and throughout Kentucky.

In vehicle collisions, getting to the scene immediately is vital in establishing a wrongful death claim. At the Law Firm of Flora Templeton Stuart our team of investigators will be on the scene immediately upon being contacted by a grieving family member.
Wrongful death claims can also result in gun shot cases where a child may accidentally be shot by a gun, dog attacks, falls or any other catastrophic personal injury claim. If your loved one has died as a result of another’s careless conduct contact us today.
We have represented riders through the decades that have sustained not only catastrophic injury but death. This is particularly seen in Barren County where the highways intersect and country roads abound. The leading cause of motorcycle crashes is negligent driving on behalf of drivers. Because motorcyclists are harder to see on the road it is easier for a driver to have a lapse in judgement and drive into a motorcyclist. If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident our law firm is here for you.

In personal injury cases, we must prove the other person was negligent to collect damages for injuries you have sustained. In Barren County and Kentucky everyone is required to act as a reasonably prudent person would under similar circumstances. Negligence is when an individual fails to act like a reasonably prudent person and causes someone else harm such as in a car accident when the other person runs the red light and causes the collision.
To prove negligence, we establish four elements:
When our team of attorneys are called by someone who is seriously injured in an accident which often includes car or semi-truck collision, we immediately work to establish liability, or fault of the other person to show that they violated the duty of care. This can include hiring experts such as detectives who obtain recorded statements from witnesses and accident reconstructionist to establish the fault of the other party. Having a law firm close by to document the evidence is crucial as time is of the essence following an accident.
