Kentucky Car Crashes

Every day, drivers in Kentucky face the real risks of serious traffic collisions, whether on busy highways, rural roads, or city streets. Across the state, roughly 150,000 traffic accidents occur annually, with around 25,000 resulting in injuries and over 700 ending in fatalities. Many of these crashes are entirely preventable, yet they continue to leave victims and families dealing with physical, emotional, and financial consequences.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 90% of accidents nationwide are linked to driver error. In Kentucky, behaviors such as distracted driving, speeding, impaired operation, and failure to follow traffic laws continue to cause serious collisions. Drivers who make negligent decisions put everyone on the road—including passengers and other motorists—at risk of catastrophic injury.

The aftermath of an injury crash can be overwhelming. Victims often face expensive medical bills, lost income, and long-term rehabilitation while trying to recover. For many, the physical and emotional toll is compounded by insurance challenges and legal complexities.
