Kentucky Auto Collisions

Hundreds of car crashes happen on Kentucky roadways each day, with over 100,000 crashes reported yearly. These incidents cause thousands of people to sustain injuries and take the lives of far too many each year. Nationally, millions of people are hurt per year in auto accidents. In one recent year, over 3 million crash victims were sent to the hospital with injuries in the United States.

In Kentucky, negligent driving is all too common, causing over 90% of reported auto accidents. The story remains the same throughout the nation, with distracted and intoxicated driving at the top of the list of reasons auto accidents occur. Speeding and fatigue are not far behind. For example, roughly 25% of traffic fatalities in the state of Kentucky involve alcohol. Combined with exhaustion and aggressive driving, these factors play a role in almost all reported auto accidents throughout the nation.

Suffering injuries in a serious car crash can be a life-altering experience. Beyond the physical impacts, an experience of this nature can take a heavy toll both financially and emotionally on victims and their loved ones. Many victims face extensive periods of recovery, overwhelming medical bills, and lost income, all while juggling the demands of everyday life. For those who depend on their injured loved ones, the impact can feel especially overwhelming.
