Whether your crash happened on I-65 through Louisville, I-75 near Lexington, or a two-lane road anywhere in between, we fight to recover the maximum compensation available — and you pay nothing unless we win.
Where We Serve in Kentucky
- Louisville — the state’s largest city and a major freight hub at the crossroads of I-65, I-64, and I-71. See our Louisville truck accident lawyers and Louisville car accident lawyers.

Kentucky Injury FAQs
How long do I have to file an injury claim in Kentucky?
For a motor-vehicle crash, generally two years from the crash date or your last no-fault (PIP) payment under KRS 304.39-230. For non-vehicle injuries such as a slip and fall, Kentucky’s general deadline is one year under KRS 413.140. Deadlines are strict, so consult a lawyer promptly.
Is Kentucky a no-fault state?
Yes. Your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) pays the first $10,000 of medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault. When injuries are serious — over $1,000 in medical bills, a broken bone, permanent injury, disfigurement, or death — you can step outside no-fault and sue the at-fault driver for full damages.
What if I was partly at fault for my Kentucky accident?
You can still recover. Kentucky uses pure comparative fault under KRS 411.182, which reduces your compensation by your percentage of fault but never bars recovery — so even a mostly-at-fault person may recover something.
