Client Testimonials
Flora Templeton Stuart personally met with Jason, a car accident victim hit by a drunk driver, when our team traveled to Jennie Stuart Hospital where he was receiving medical treatment. Jason had sustained a massive tear to his rotator cuff when the drunk driver crashed into several vehicles waiting at a stoplight on the opposite side of the road. These injuries not only required surgery, but extensive physical therapy to repair the damage to his arm. During this period, Jason was unable to return to work as a technician and was forced to go over seven months without any income. As a result, Jason was on the verge of losing his home and everything that he worked so hard for his entire life.
Due to the extent of Jason’s damages, our team spent countless hours building a case and preparing for trial. A few weeks before trial and after extensive litigation by our attorneys, we were able to settle the case at mediation. The settlement could not restore Jason to his former self but was able to compensate him for his injuries caused by the gross negligence of an intoxicated driver. We made sure that all medical bills were paid on behalf of our client.

Types of Car Accident Cases We Handle
Distracted Driving Accidents: Any activity that takes the drivers attention away from the road is considered distracted driving. Not only is distracted driving the leading cause of car crashes, but the problem continues to worsen due to the increased usage of mobile devices and other distractors. Other examples of distracted driving include eating, applying makeup, or reaching into the backseat or floorboards.
DUI Accidents: Driving under the influence has become a serious problem in Christian County and across the country. In 2018, 96 accidents were caused by impaired drivers in Christian County alone. If and when these accidents occur, they can have serious consequences for everyone involved.
Head-On Collisions: When two cars that are moving in opposite directions collide, the results can be catastrophic. Common causes of head-on collisions include driving while fatigued, driving under the influence, poor weather conditions, passing/overtaking, or driving while distracted.
Rear-End Collisions: Rear-end collisions are the most common type of car accident in the United States. Not only are rear-end accidents dangerous, but they can be extremely difficult to avoid even for defensive drivers.
Hit-and-Run Accident: There are a number of reasons why drivers flee after an accident including driving without insurance or engaging in illegal behavior. If you were involved in a hit-and-run, document as much information as possible and speak with potential witnesses. If the at-fault driver is found, you may be able to pursue both criminal and civil charges.
Fatal Car Accidents: Fatalities on our roadways occur every day. If you have lost a loved one due to another driver’s negligence, contact our Christian County car accident attorneys to discuss your options.
In addition to the accidents above, we also handle sideswipe collisions, multiple vehicle collisions, highway accidents, DUI crashes, rollover crashes, and reckless driving.
Victims of vehicle accidents trust our firm because of our structured, five-step process for pursuing compensation. We build a strong case through detailed investigation, coordinate claims with your health insurance company, secure your medical records and connect you with experienced doctors, set up financial protections like annuities and college funds for injured minors, and fight for the maximum settlement available to you.

Following a car accident, several categories of insurance coverage may come into play to help you recover compensation for your injuries and losses:
Personal Injury Protection: Kentucky law designates the vehicle you were riding in as the primary carrier of Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits. PIP starts at a minimum of $10,000 and is designed to cover medical costs, income loss, home-based care, and even some funeral expenses. Our Kentucky automobile accident lawyers take careful steps to safeguard these benefits on your behalf, ensuring your medical bills and lost wages are handled. The at-fault driver is ultimately obligated to repay PIP benefits.
Liability: A driver who negligently injures another person is responsible for those damages under their liability policy. In Kentucky, minimum liability coverage is set at $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident, though commercial policies can push that ceiling into the millions depending on the insurer.
Uninsured Motorist: When the driver who caused your accident was carrying no insurance, you may still be able to seek compensation by filing a claim under the uninsured motorist coverage in your own policy.
Underinsured Motorist: If the at-fault driver was insured but their coverage is not enough to fully pay for your injuries, underinsured motorist benefits may cover the remaining damages. Flora Templeton Stuart aggressively pursues all available underinsured motorist policies to ensure you receive the full recovery you’re entitled to.
Car accident cases are most commonly built on a foundation of negligence — the legal principle that a driver failed to exercise the level of care that a reasonable person would under similar circumstances. As Kentucky car crash lawyers, we must demonstrate negligence clearly and convincingly before we can hold the responsible party accountable. This means establishing four core elements:
Duty of care: The at-fault party owed you a duty to drive responsibly and comply with all traffic laws.
Breach of duty: The at-fault party violated that duty through careless or unlawful behavior.
Causation: Their breach of duty was the direct cause of the accident and the injuries you sustained.
Damages: The accident left you with documented damages, including property loss, pain and suffering, and other losses tied to the at-fault party’s negligence.
To build the strongest possible case, our team gathers and reviews police reports, statements from witnesses, and any available video or surveillance evidence.
Kentucky follows a “no-fault” model for auto insurance, mandating that all drivers maintain Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage of at least $10,000. This coverage steps in to pay for medical treatment and lost wages following an accident, irrespective of which driver was at fault. Importantly, Kentucky also allows accident victims to reject the no-fault framework and file a direct claim against the driver responsible for the crash, potentially unlocking a higher level of compensation.
Statute of Limitations in Kentucky and Tennessee
Statute of Limitations in Kentucky and Tennessee The law imposes strict deadlines on how long you have to pursue a car accident lawsuit, and missing these windows can permanently bar your claim. In Kentucky, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident, though this period may be tolled when PIP benefits are actively being paid, as per Ky. Rev. Stat. § 304.39-230(6). In Tennessee, that timeframe is significantly shorter at just one year from the date of the accident. When the injured party is a minor, the limitations period does not begin to run until that individual turns 18. The statute of limitations applicable to Wrongful Death claims is set forth under KRS 413.140.
