Car Accidents
A car accident is one of the traumatic and difficult experiences you can go through, and they often come without any kind warning. These accidents can cause serious injuries, including broken bones, soft tissue injuries, concussions, back injuries, and internal damage. On top of the initial pain and frustration these accidents can cause, you may also have real concerns about how the crash will affect you and your family’s future. In 2021, about 12.5% of Lexington car accidents resulted in injury, and over 40 people lost their lives in car accidents.
Car accidents can cost victims thousands of dollars in medical bills, lost wages, and property damage. They may also take a severe emotional toll on everyone involved. Millions of crash victims have been robbed of their ability to provide for their families or enjoy their lives in the same way as before the accident. If you or a loved one has been involved in a vehicle accident in Lexington, call us today.
Semi-Truck Accidents
Collisions involving semi-trucks and other large commercial vehicles can result in devastating injuries. The size and weight of these big rigs make them largest vehicles on the road, making the occupants of passenger vehicles vulnerable to serious harm. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident involving a commercial vehicle, contact our Lexington semi-truck accident lawyers for a free case evaluation. Because Kentucky ranks 10th among states in the number of semi-truck related fatalities, vigilance and knowledge about large trucks is more important than ever. (Truck Safety Coalition)
What To Do After A Semi-Truck Accident in Fayette County
After an accident involving an eighteen-wheeler, the first step is to contact authorities to report the accident. Not only will first responders with the arrive to provide medical treatment for any injuries, but a police report will be created with important details about the accident. This will provide an unbiased account of the accident which can be used to establish liability in a personal injury lawsuit. If you are severely injured, you should go to the nearest emergency room like that at UK Albert B. Chandler Hospital.
After calling the police, be sure that you or someone you know documents all important details about the scene. This includes taking pictures of vehicle damage, road conditions, and injuries. You should also speak with any witnesses who saw the accident and take down all of the other party’s insurance and contact information.
The last step after a semi-truck accident is to exercise extreme caution when speaking with any insurance representatives. Do not make any statements or answer any questions about the accident without consulting with one of our Lexington semi-truck accident lawyers. They may try to get you to give up information about the accident or sign paperwork that can be used against you down the road.
Motorcycle Accidents
There are many hazards that motorcyclists face when navigating the roads and highways throughout Kentucky, and especially in Lexington where motorcycle accidents are on the rise. In 202, 85 people were killed in motorcycle-related crashes, but in 2021, that number jumped to 99. The open-aired nature of these vehicles means that they do not have the same safety measures that passenger vehicles do. Without any seatbelts, protective frames, or airbags, riders are subject to far more serious injuries if and when motorcycle accidents occur, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Road rash
- Broken bones
- Internal injuries
Along with potentially life-threatening injuries, crash victims are often left with thousands of dollars in medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses stemming from the accident. Without the help of our Lexington motorcycle accident lawyers, you may be stuck paying out-of-pocket for something that wasn’t even your fault. Insurance companies rarely offer fair compensation and will try to limit their financial responsibility any way they can. Our team will stand up to the insurance companies to get our clients the justice they deserve. Speak with an attorney today and get 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.
