Car Accidents in Kentucky
Car accidents in Kentucky can cause devastating injuries when they happen at high speeds or when one vehicle is significantly larger than the other. If a driver was exceeding the speed limit, driving recklessly, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs when they hit your car, they should be held accountable. We are proud to represent victims of car accidents in Kentucky with our auto injury lawyers and have a record of success securing generous settlements on their behalf.
Truck Accidents in Kentucky
Kentucky commercial truck drivers are held to higher safety standards than other drivers because their vehicles can do a lot of damage when they crash. If you were hurt or a loved one was killed by a negligent truck driver accident in Kentucky, you can count on our personal injury law team to take on their lawyers and insurance companies to get you the compensation you deserve.
Pedestrian Accidents in Kentucky
Pedestrians and bicyclists are vulnerable to significant injuries and fatalities when they are hit by a car or truck. If a driver failed to yield to you in a crosswalk or cut off your bike as you shared a lane, you can hold them responsible for your losses with the help of a personal injury attorney who won’t back down until they get you what you need to recover from your injuries.
Kentucky Dog Bite Accidents
In Kentucky, dog owners are liable for injuries their dogs cause by biting or attacking others. This means that they are responsible for the damage their pet does, even if the animal had never shown signs of aggression prior to the bite. Children are the most common victims of dog bites and can suffer permanent disfigurement and long-term trauma after an attack. We hold negligent dog owners accountable.
Wrongful Death in Kentucky
If a loved one was killed by the negligence of a driver, commercial trucker, dog owner, or anyone else, surviving family members can take action to hold the individual accountable for their actions in a Kentucky wrongful death case. Wrongful death damages can cover medical expenses incurred between the accident and the time of death, funeral and burial costs and compensation for the loss of financial support and companionship suffered by dependents.
