Kentucky Auto Accidents

Car accidents are a daily reality on Kentucky roads, especially in and around Lexington. From busy corridors like Nicholasville Road and New Circle Road to I-75 and local intersections, crashes happen far too often, leaving drivers and passengers with serious injuries, financial strain, and lasting emotional trauma.

Each year, Kentucky sees more than 150,000 reported collisions, many of which result in significant injury or even death. Across the U.S., over 40,000 people lose their lives in auto accidents annually—and the overwhelming majority are tied to driver negligence.

Some of the most common forms of negligent driving include:

• Distracted driving (such as texting or using GPS)
• Speeding, especially in congested urban areas
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol—one of the most deadly and preventable causes of crashes

When a careless driver causes harm, victims are left to deal with far more than just the physical pain. Medical bills pile up, income may be lost, and day-to-day life can become overwhelming in an instant.
