Kentucky Car Accidents

Car accidents remain a serious threat on Kentucky’s roads, with thousands of crashes happening every year that leave people hurt, overwhelmed, and searching for answers. Though Kentucky may represent just over 1% of all U.S. traffic collisions, that still translates to more than 100,000 accidents annually, and tens of thousands of injuries across the Commonwealth.

In cities like Lexington, drivers navigate crowded intersections, fast-paced highways, and unpredictable conditions every day. Unfortunately, many injury-causing crashes are not mere “accidents” — they’re the result of poor decisions behind the wheel.

Common causes of injury crashes in Kentucky include:

• Distracted driving, like texting or using in-car apps
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Speeding, which increases both crash likelihood and severity
• Fatigue, especially on long rural drives or during late-night travel

According to national data, distracted driving alone claimed over 3,300 lives in a single year, while impaired driving remains one of the top contributors to deadly and devastating crashes. When a driver fails to act responsibly, the consequences can change lives in an instant.
