Car Accident Lawyer In Lexington, KY

Everybody is in a rush to get somewhere, and that is seen predominantly on the road. With over 40,000 deaths occurring from car accidents annually, motorists put their safety at risk each time they get behind the wheel. A car accident can threaten your future, in some cases placing you in a hospital bed, fighting for your life.

If you have sustained injuries in a car crash, our Lexington car accident attorneys are ready to assist you with your claim.

Rear-End Collisions

A rear-end collision occurs when one vehicle collides with the back of a lead vehicle. A rear-end collision may be caused by slippery roads, limited visibility, or a driver who is simply following too closely. Due to the type of accident, whiplash and other neck injuries are common.

T-Bone or Side Impact Collisions

A side impact collision, colloquially referred to as a “T-bone” collision, occurs when the front of one vehicle strikes the side of another vehicle. A “T-bone” collision is typically caused by one driver failing to yield right-of-way to another driver. In some cases, the driver may have run a red light, driving into the side of another car that is traveling on a cross street.

Whiplash and spinal cord injuries are frequent in side-impact collisions. It is estimated that 3.18 million side-impact collisions take place each year. That is nearly 25 percent of the total car accidents each year.

Head-On Collisions

A head-on collision occurs when two vehicles moving toward each other make contact head-on. A head-on collision may be caused by a fatigued or distracted driver. No matter the reason, the resulting injuries are often catastrophic.

Hit-and-Run Accidents

When a motorist flees the accident scene without providing contact and insurance information, this is considered a hit-and-run.

Multi-Vehicle Accidents

Also referred to as chain-reaction accidents, these are crashes that involve three or more vehicles. Common causes of multi-vehicle collisions include sun glare, drowsy drivers, distracted drivers, speeding, and slippery roads. Back injuries are typical in multi-vehicle crashes.

Economic Damages in a Car Accident Case

The value of a car accident case will depend on several factors, such as:

Medical Bills

The extent of an accident victim’s injuries will make up a significant portion of a car accident claim. A person who suffers extensive injuries will have large medical expenses, including treatments, surgeries, physical therapy, and even home modifications. These expenses will dramatically increase the value of a car accident claim.

Lost Wages

An individual who misses significant time from work can and should factor this lost income into the number of damages being sought. A person who experiences severe injuries may be unable to work the number of hours or in the same position as before, allowing the victim to claim diminished earning capacity.
