Car Accidents
In only January of 2025, there were over 30 reported car accidents in the Ashland area, meaning a collision could happen to anyone (MyAccident). This should come as no surprise, considering that as per the KYTC in their US 23 Ashland Connector study, traffic in Ashland is a huge problem.
Car accidents can be among the most traumatic events you’ll face, often happening without warning. These crashes can lead to serious injuries like broken bones, concussions, soft tissue damage, back injuries, and internal harm. Alongside physical pain, you may also be concerned about the impact this accident will have on your family’s future.
Car accidents can bring significant financial burdens, including medical bills, lost wages, and property damage. They also take an emotional toll on everyone involved, affecting your ability to provide for your family or enjoy life as you once did. If you or a loved one has been in a car accident in Ashland, don’t hesitate to reach out to us today.
Semi-Truck Accidents
Accidents involving semi-trucks and other large commercial vehicles can result in catastrophic injuries. Given the sheer size and weight of these trucks, smaller vehicles are at high risk of serious harm. If you or someone you know has been injured in a crash involving a commercial vehicle, contact our Ashland semi-truck accident lawyers for a free case evaluation.
What To Do After A Semi-Truck Accident in Boyd County
After a semi-truck accident, your first step should be to contact authorities and report the crash. First responders will provide medical care, and a police report will be created with important details that can help establish liability in a personal injury case.
Next, document key details from the scene. Take photos of vehicle damage, road conditions, and visible injuries. Speak to witnesses and gather contact and insurance information from others involved.
Finally, be cautious when dealing with insurance representatives. Don’t make statements or provide accident details without first consulting one of our Ashland semi-truck accident attorneys. They may try to have you share information or sign documents that could hurt your case later on.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists face unique dangers on Kentucky’s roads. Unlike passengers in cars, motorcycle riders lack the protective features of seatbelts, airbags, or protective frames. As a result, motorcycle accidents often lead to severe injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Road rash
- Broken bones
- Internal injuries
Beyond the physical trauma, victims often face the financial strain of medical bills, lost wages, and other accident-related expenses. Insurance companies frequently offer insufficient compensation and may try to limit their responsibility. Our Ashland motorcycle accident lawyers are committed to ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve. Contact us today for free legal advice from an experienced motorcycle accident attorney.

Several types of insurance coverage that will pay if you’re injured in an automobile collision:
Personal Injury Protection: The vehicle you are in is the primary coverage for payment of Personal Injury Protection (PIP) in Kentucky. PIP has minimal limits of $10,000 and pays medical expenses, lost income, home care, and even a portion of funeral expenses. Kentucky automobile accident lawyers reserve these benefits so medical bills and lost wages will get paid. PIP is repaid by the party at fault.
Liability: The at-fault driver pays for injuries caused to another through their liability policy, which in Kentucky has a minimum policy of $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident and a maximum can be in the millions with a commercial insurance policy.
Uninsured Motorist: If the driver at fault did not have insurance you can collect on your uninsured motorist’s coverage on your own insurance policy.
Underinsured Motorist: If the at-fault driver of the vehicle had insurance but not enough or your injuries are greater than that amount you can collect on underinsured motorists. Flora Templeton Stuart will make sure all underinsured policies are uncovered for maximum recovery.
Negligence in car accidents typically involves a driver failing to exercise reasonable care. As Kentucky car crash lawyers, before we can take action against the liable party, we need to prove that their negligence led to the accident. We do this by establishing the following elements of negligence:
Duty of care: The at-fault party had a responsibility to keep you safe by following all traffic laws.
Breach of duty: The at-fault party breached their duty of care, instead acting negligently.
Causation: The at-fault party’s actions or inactions caused you to suffer an accident and injuries.
Damages: You suffered damages, such as pain and suffering and property damage, because of the at-fault party’s negligence.
Our team will gather evidence to prove negligence, including police reports, witness statements, and surveillance footage.
Under the “no-fault” car insurance system in Kentucky, drivers are required to carry a minimum of $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance. Regardless of who causes the accident, PIP covers medical expenses and lost wages. However, if you’re in an accident, you can opt out of the no-fault system to pursue auto injury claims against the at-fault driver and possibly receive more vehicle accident compensation.
Statute of Limitations in Kentucky and Tennessee
In vehicle accidents, there is a limited amount of time to sue. In Kentucky, you have two years after the wreck to sue which can be extended with PIP benefits being paid, as per Ky. Rev. Stat. § 304.39-230(6). In Tennessee, you only have one year to file an auto accident lawsuit. Time limits for minors start when they turn 18. The Statute of Limitations for Wrongful Death cases is governed by KRS 413.140.
