Client Testimonials
Flora Templeton Stuart Accident Injury Lawyers recently represented the family of a man who tragically lost his life in a motor vehicle collision.
The deceased, Don, was parked near a roadway in Grayson County when a negligent driver crossed the center line and struck Don’s vehicle head on. Although Don was pronounced dead at the scene, the impact of the collision would be felt by the family for years to come.
Our attorneys traveled to Grayson County, KY to meet with wife of the deceased, Rachel, at the home she shared with her late husband. Rachel retained our services to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the at-fault driver, which would provide compensation for any losses resulting from the collision and justice for her husband who was taken far too soon.
We were able to successfully negotiate a $450,000 settlement for the damages sustained by Don and his family, who must now live without the companionship, affection, and services that he once provided.
A Step-By-Step Look At How We Handle Your Car Accident Case
Proving Fault And Recovering What You Deserve
Our car accident attorneys take the following actions to help you obtain the full compensation your injuries warrant:
- Schedule a personal meeting at our office — or we come to you if traveling is not an option.
- Assist with all property damage matters at no additional charge.
- Investigate. We immediately begin investigating the accident, preserving evidence, inspecting the scene, consulting experts and eyewitnesses, securing police reports and other critical documents, and gathering all available photos, videos, and physical evidence.
- Open insurance claims. We file all coverage claims promptly, direct your PIP benefit payments, and work with your health insurer when PIP is not available to ensure your care is covered.
- Help you find quality doctors. We refer you to reputable physicians and carefully track all medical records and expenses as your case develops.
- Seek lifetime income. If a catastrophic injury has changed the course of your life, we pursue financial arrangements designed to provide long-term income and support for your family.
- Negotiate. We represent you — not the insurance industry. We resist bad-faith tactics and fight tirelessly for the most favorable settlement your case can achieve.
Statutes of limitations govern every car accident case. If you wait too long, your legal right to pursue compensation may be lost for good. This is among the most common reasons car accident claims fail to produce results.
Flora Templeton Stuart and her team stand ready to help you and your family navigate this difficult time. We are a committed local law firm — not a distant national operation.

When you are injured in a vehicle collision, several types of insurance may pay compensation on your behalf:
- Personal Injury Protection: The vehicle you occupied at the time of the crash is the primary source of PIP in Kentucky. PIP has minimum limits of $10,000 and covers medical expenses, lost income, in-home care, and a portion of funeral costs. Our attorneys preserve these benefits so your bills get paid. PIP is ultimately reimbursed by the at-fault driver.
- Liability: An at-fault driver’s liability insurance is responsible for paying your injury damages. Kentucky law requires a minimum of $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident; commercial coverage can reach into the millions.
- Uninsured Motorist: If the driver who caused your crash had no insurance, you may file a claim under your own uninsured motorist coverage.
- Underinsured Motorist: When the at-fault driver’s insurance limits are insufficient for your injuries, your underinsured motorist coverage can provide additional compensation.
Flora Templeton Stuart investigates every available policy to ensure maximum recovery.
Negligence in car accidents typically comes down to a driver failing to use reasonable care on the road. As Kentucky car crash lawyers, we must establish negligence before taking legal action against any responsible party. We accomplish this by demonstrating four elements:
- Duty of care: The at-fault driver had a legal duty to operate safely and obey all traffic laws.
- Breach of duty: That driver breached this duty by acting irresponsibly or carelessly.
- Causation: Their failure to act responsibly was the direct cause of your accident and resulting injuries.
- Damages: As a result of their negligence, you suffered real losses including property damage, physical pain, and emotional suffering.
Our team gathers police reports, witness statements, and video surveillance to document your case.
Kentucky uses a “no-fault” car insurance system that requires drivers to maintain a minimum of $10,000 in PIP insurance. PIP covers medical treatment and lost wages regardless of who is responsible for the accident. Injured drivers in Kentucky may also choose to exit the no-fault system and file a direct claim against the at-fault party, potentially obtaining greater total compensation.
Statute of Limitations in Kentucky and Tennessee
Car accident victims must act within legal time limits to protect their claims. Kentucky allows two years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit, with possible extension when PIP benefits are ongoing, as per Ky. Rev. Stat. § 304.39-230(6). In Tennessee, that window is limited to one year. For injured minors, the filing period does not begin until age 18. The statute of limitations for Wrongful Death cases is established under KRS 413.140.
