Kentucky Car Crashes

Motor vehicle crashes continue to pose a serious threat on Kentucky roads. Each year, more than 100,000 collisions are reported across the state, with many occurring right here in Lexington and the broader Fayette County area. These crashes often result in devastating injuries, emotional trauma, and, in the most tragic cases, the loss of life—all too often caused by preventable driver behavior.

Whether it’s on major thoroughfares like New Circle Road or Nicholasville Road, or smaller residential streets, Lexington drivers face daily risks from distracted drivers, speeding, impairment, and fatigue. These forms of negligence are the leading causes of injury-related accidents in Kentucky and throughout the U.S.

For crash victims, the aftermath goes far beyond vehicle repairs. A single moment on the road can result in:

• Emergency medical care and prolonged treatment
• Time off work and lost income
• Chronic pain or long-term disability
