Types of Car Accident Cases We Handle

In 2018 alone, Monroe County experienced over 150 car accidents according to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. However, not all of these crash victims will benefit from a personal injury lawsuit.

Whether or not you need to file a lawsuit depends on a variety of factors. You must consider the cause of the accident, determine fault, and establish liability for any damages resulting from the crash. Most importantly, you must consider the extent of the injuries sustained in the accident.

Whenever negligent, reckless, or careless behavior causes serious injury, you have the right to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses stemming from the accident. We have represented thousands of car accident victims who have been injured in all types of crashes, such as:

• Head-on collisions
• Hit-and-run crashes
• Rollover accidents
• Drunk driving accidents
• Rear-end collisions
• Distracted driving accidents
• T-Bone collisions
• Multiple vehicle accidents
• Side-impact collisions

Many cases involving minor injury or property damage can be settled with the at-fault party’s insurance company without legal assistance. For those who have suffered more serious injuries, including broken bones, internal injuries, spinal cord injuries, and brain injuries, consulting with our Tompkinsville car accident lawyers may be in your best interest.

The only way to know for sure is to call 888-782-9090 or fill out the online case evaluation form at the bottom of the page. One of our attorneys will review your case, completely free of charge, and discuss your options with you. Contact us today and see if hiring a car accident lawyer is the best option for you.

Semi-Truck Accidents

Accidents involving semi-trucks tend to be some of the most serious cases we handle. The size and weight of these vehicles can cause catastrophic injury to drivers & passengers. These injuries are not only life-altering, but many victims require long-term medical care that can be very expensive. Many victims have hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses stemming from the accident.

Additionally, getting fair compensation from the at-fault party’s insurance company can be challenging. There are often multiple parties involved including the driver, the trucking company, the manufacturer, the truck/trailer owner, and their insurance companies.

Each party will attempt to limit their financial responsibility by employing a team of lawyers and adjustors to pay as little as possible to accident victims. Without the assistance of our Tompkinsville semi-truck accident lawyers, you may be stuck paying substantial sums of money for something that wasn’t even your fault.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a semi-truck accident, you have every right to pursue compensation for your injuries and losses. We have over 45 years of experience in truck accident litigation and have collected millions for our injured clients, including several multimillion-dollar settlements for semi-truck accident victims. Our Tompkinsville semi-truck accident lawyers have the knowledge, skills, and resources to get the compensation you deserve. Contact us today for a free case evaluation. 

Motorcycle Accidents

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), around 80% of all motorcycle accidents resulted in injury or death, compared to only 20% in passenger vehicles. 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. Sadly, liability and compensation in these types of crashes are often highly contested due to the perceived dangers of motorcycles. Without the help of our Tompkinsville motorcycle accident lawyers, you may end up owing money due to someone else’s negligent behavior.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident, the attorneys at Flora Templeton Stuart Accidents Injury Lawyers are here to help. We understand that you may be facing expensive medical bills or are unable to earn a living due to your injuries, which is why our team is on standby to assist our Monroe County clients. Contact us at 888-782-9090 to schedule your free case evaluation and discuss your case with an experienced Tompkinsville motorcycle accident lawyer.

Pedestrian Accidents

Thousands of people rely on sidewalks, crosswalks, and traffic signals for protection on their commute to work, when running errands, or just to get some fresh air. Sadly, these safety measures don’t always prevent negligent drivers from striking a pedestrian. Not only is it difficult for pedestrians to protect themselves from these kinds of accidents, but without a physical barrier between your body and the vehicle, the injuries can be catastrophic.

Determining Fault in a Pedestrian Accident

When an accident occurs between a vehicle and a pedestrian, determining fault can be challenging. Drivers must exercise reasonable care to avoid collision with both other vehicles and pedestrians. Whenever a driver engages in any type of negligent, reckless, or careless behavior behind the wheel and strikes a pedestrian, the victim has a right to be compensated. Some examples of negligent or careless behavior include:

• Texting while driving
• Ignoring crossing signals or zone signs
• Speeding through crosswalks
• Driving while intoxicated
• Misjudging road or weather conditions
• Failing to signal

Our Tompkinsville pedestrian accidents lawyers will perform a thorough investigation to uncover any negligent behavior that contributed to the accident. By proving that the driver engaged in some type of negligent behavior, we can build a strong case and pursue maximum compensation for injured pedestrians. We will negotiate with insurance adjusters on your behalf to ensure that you receive fair compensation for your injuries and losses.
