What Our Louisville Car Accident Attorneys Will Do For You
How We Work To Get You Maximum Recovery
When you’ve been hurt in a car accident, our legal team takes every necessary step to help you recover full and fair compensation:
- Meet with you in person at our office — or come directly to you when you are not able to make the trip.
- Manage your property damage claim at no additional cost to you.
- Launch a thorough investigation. From day one, we work to preserve evidence, visit the scene of the accident, speak with eyewitnesses and subject-matter experts, obtain police reports and relevant documents, and collect photos, video, and physical evidence.
- File insurance claims without delay. We open all applicable claims promptly, direct payment of PIP benefits, and coordinate with your health insurer to keep your treatment covered if PIP is not available.
- Help you access quality medical care. We connect you with physicians we know and trust, and we track your medical records and treatment costs throughout your case.
- Fight for your long-term financial stability. In cases involving catastrophic injury, we pursue lasting financial arrangements to address ongoing care needs and provide for you and your family.
- Negotiate without compromise. We represent injured people exclusively — not insurance companies. We defend you against bad-faith practices and pursue the maximum settlement your case warrants.
- Move quickly. Statutes of limitations govern every car accident claim. Allowing those deadlines to pass is among the most common reasons deserving clients fail to receive the compensation they need.
When you or a family member is injured in an accident, Flora Templeton Stuart and her team are prepared to help immediately. We are a true community-based firm — proud to serve the people and places we call home.
We follow a reliable five-step process to pursue compensation on behalf of vehicle accident victims. Our team investigates your case, opens claims with your health insurer, assembles your medical records and refers you to qualified doctors, establishes annuities and college funds for children who have been injured, and negotiates the settlement you rightfully deserve.
- Past and future medical expenses
- Disfigurement, amputation, and permanent scarring
- Lost wages and earnings
- Loss of love, companionship, and guidance
- Disability-related costs or live-in care needs
- Physical pain and emotional distress
- Diminished earning capacity

Following a vehicle collision, multiple types of insurance coverage may be available to compensate you for your injuries:
- Personal Injury Protection: Under Kentucky law, PIP coverage is primarily drawn from the insurance on the vehicle you were occupying at the time of the crash. PIP carries minimum limits of $10,000 and covers medical bills, lost wages, home care assistance, and a portion of funeral costs. Our legal team works to safeguard these benefits so your expenses remain covered. The at-fault party is ultimately responsible for repaying PIP.
- Liability: The liability policy of the at-fault driver covers injuries caused by their negligence. Kentucky’s minimum is $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident, while commercial vehicle policies may reach into the millions.
- Uninsured Motorist: When the driver responsible for your accident carried no insurance, you may be entitled to recover through your own uninsured motorist coverage.
- Underinsured Motorist: If the at-fault driver’s policy is insufficient to cover the full extent of your damages, underinsured motorist coverage can help bridge that gap.
Flora Templeton Stuart pursues every available underinsured policy to maximize your total recovery.
At the core of every car accident case is the question of negligence — specifically, whether a driver failed to exercise the level of care that a reasonable person would under similar circumstances. As Kentucky car accident lawyers, establishing negligence is a necessary foundation before we can pursue legal action on your behalf. We prove four essential elements:
- Duty of care: The at-fault party owed you a duty to drive responsibly and comply with traffic laws.
- Breach of duty: That party failed to uphold their duty through negligent or reckless conduct.
- Causation: Their conduct directly led to the accident and the injuries you suffered.
- Damages: As a result of their negligence, you experienced real harm — physical, emotional, and financial.
We build your case on a strong foundation of police reports, eyewitness accounts, and surveillance or dashcam footage.
Kentucky is a “no-fault” insurance state, meaning all drivers are required to maintain a minimum of $10,000 in PIP coverage. This coverage pays for medical expenses and lost wages without regard to fault. Injured parties also have the option to step outside the no-fault system and file a claim directly against the responsible driver in order to seek greater compensation.
Statute of Limitations in Kentucky and Tennessee
Filing deadlines apply to all car accident claims and must be taken seriously. In Kentucky, injured parties generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim — a window that may be extended while PIP benefits are actively being paid, as outlined in Ky. Rev. Stat. § 304.39-230(6). In Tennessee, that window is one year. When a minor is involved, the statute of limitations begins at age 18. Wrongful Death claims are subject to the provisions of KRS 413.140.
