Kentucky Traffic Accidents

Kentucky sees car accidents every day. Each year, around 150,000 car accidents are reported in the state, with approximately 25,000 resulting in injuries and over 700 tragically leading to death. Sadly, most of these accidents could be prevented—they’re often the result of negligent driving.

Across the United States and within Kentucky, driver negligence is the leading cause of auto accidents. Over 90% of reported crashes are caused by drivers acting carelessly. When drivers are distracted, intoxicated, fatigued, or speeding, they not only put their own lives at risk but also endanger everyone on the road.

These unlawful and negligent behaviors contribute significantly to the number of serious accidents each year. When drivers act without regard for safety, the chances of them causing serious or even fatal injuries increase dramatically.

Negligent driving can take many forms, including drunk driving, distracted driving, and fatigued driving—each with the potential to cause severe or even fatal accidents.
