Kentucky Car Crashes

Every day, drivers and passengers across Kentucky face the risk of serious injury on the road. Statewide, nearly 150,000 traffic collisions occur each year, with roughly 25,000 resulting in injuries and more than 700 leading to fatalities. Behind many of these crashes are preventable causes, leaving victims and their families struggling with consequences that could have been avoided.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that more than 93% of accidents nationwide are tied to driver error. In Kentucky, common dangers—such as distracted driving, speeding, impairment, and fatigue—remain leading factors in injury-causing crashes. For many victims, the aftermath means hospital stays, costly medical care, lost income, and the challenges of long-term recovery.

Car crashes caused by negligence don’t just damage vehicles—they disrupt lives. From broken bones and traumatic brain injuries to chronic pain and emotional distress, the toll of an injury accident can linger for years.
