Client Testimonials
The Flora Templeton Stuart Team fought to obtain a fair settlement for Melanie, an 18 year who suffered severe brain injuries after she was struck by a drunk driver.
The drunk driver had been overserved by two different bars before getting into his car and colliding with our client going west on Campbell Lane. Melanie was severely injured and was taken to the Emergency Department of the Medical Center before eventually being heliflighted to Vanderbilt, where she underwent extensive operations. The accident left her with permanent damage and disabilities, but our team obtained a $1.2 million settlement after intense litigation in court on her behalf. The settlement cannot cure her injuries, but we hope it makes life going forward a bit easier for her.

What Our Car Accident Attorneys Will Do For You
How We Establish Fault And Secure Your Compensation
Our car accident lawyers will take the following steps to help you obtain full and fair compensation for your injuries:
- Meet with you personally at our office, or travel directly to you when you are unable to come to us.
- Assist with your property damage claim at no additional cost.
- Investigate. We begin building your case immediately — preserving evidence, visiting the accident scene, consulting eyewitnesses and case experts, obtaining police reports and essential documents, and collecting photographs, video footage, and physical evidence.
- Open insurance claims. We promptly file all applicable claims, direct payment of PIP benefits, and coordinate with your health insurer to cover treatment if PIP is unavailable.
- Help you find quality doctors. We refer you to trusted physicians and track your medical records and expenses throughout your case.
- Seek lifetime income. For catastrophic injuries, we pursue long-term financial solutions to cover ongoing medical needs and support for you and your family.
- Negotiate. We work solely for the injured — never the insurance companies. We guard you against bad-faith tactics and relentlessly pursue the strongest settlement available.
Do not delay taking action. Statutes of limitations apply to every car accident claim. Missing those deadlines is one of the most common reasons valid claims fail to recover what they deserve.
After you or a loved one is hurt in an accident, Flora Templeton Stuart and her team are ready to help. We are a genuine local firm — committed to the communities we serve.

If you have been hurt in a car accident, multiple forms of insurance may be available to compensate you:
- Personal Injury Protection: Kentucky designates the vehicle you were in as the primary carrier of PIP benefits. With minimum limits of $10,000, PIP covers medical treatment, income loss, in-home care, and a share of funeral costs. Our attorneys safeguard these benefits on your behalf. PIP is reimbursed by the at-fault party.
- Liability: The driver who caused your injuries is responsible through their liability coverage. Kentucky sets a minimum of $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident; commercial policies may carry limits well into the millions.
- Uninsured Motorist: When the responsible driver carried no insurance, you may still seek recovery through your own uninsured motorist policy.
- Underinsured Motorist: If the at-fault driver’s insurance is insufficient to fully compensate you, underinsured motorist benefits provide additional relief.
Flora Templeton Stuart leaves no policy unexplored in pursuit of your maximum recovery.
Most car accident cases hinge on negligence — whether a driver failed to act with reasonable care. As Kentucky car crash lawyers, establishing negligence is essential before we can pursue a claim. We demonstrate four elements:
- Duty of care: The responsible party was legally obligated to follow traffic laws and keep others safe.
- Breach of duty: That driver violated their obligation through careless or reckless behavior.
- Causation: Their conduct directly caused the collision and your injuries.
- Damages: You suffered documented harm — including property damage and pain and suffering — as a result.
- We compile police reports, eyewitness accounts, and surveillance footage to build the strongest case.
The deadline to file an accident claim in Tennessee is one year — and it applies strictly to car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian accidents for residents of the state. Minors are an exception; their one-year period begins on their 18th birthday. To ensure you don’t forfeit your right to compensation, you should contact a qualified attorney right after your accident.
