Mount Washington has become one of the fastest-growing commuter cities near Louisville, and nearly everyone who lives there drives US 31E or KY 44 every day. If one of those trips ended in a crash and you need a Mount Washington, KY personal injury lawyer, Forman & Associates Accident Injury Lawyers can help. We’re about 20 miles north at 1139 S. 4th St. in Louisville (around 30 minutes via US 31E), and we regularly handle cases in the Bullitt County courts.
Because Mount Washington is in Bullitt County, an injury lawsuit isn’t filed in Louisville. It goes to the judicial center in Shepherdsville, and the jury is drawn from Bullitt County residents. Bullitt County has also become a major distribution hub along I-65, and many warehouse trucks use KY 44 to move between the interstate and Mount Washington. The mix of growing subdivisions, school traffic and heavy trucks on two- and four-lane roads produces serious crashes, especially at turn lanes and intersections without signals.
Cases are heard at the Bullitt County Judicial Center, 250 Frank E. Simon Ave., Shepherdsville, KY 40165, home of Bullitt Circuit and District Courts. Claims over $5,000 are filed in Circuit Court (KRS 24A.120).
These are some of the main roads drivers use in and around Mount Washington. We don’t publish crash counts we can’t source. For official data, see the Kentucky State Police crash data portal and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s highway safety data.
When a tractor-trailer or box truck from a Bullitt County distribution center causes a wreck, there are usually several possible defendants: the driver, the carrier, sometimes a logistics broker, and sometimes the company that loaded the trailer. Each has its own insurance. Evidence like logbook data, telematics and dash-camera video is kept for limited periods, so we demand preservation in writing right away. See our truck wreck lawyer page.
Your own PIP coverage pays the first medical bills after a Mount Washington car crash (how PIP works). The lawsuit deadline against the at-fault driver generally runs two years from the injury or the last PIP payment (KRS 304.39-230). If the other driver carries only minimum limits, which is common, your underinsured motorist coverage may make up the difference.
You don’t need to have everything together to talk with a Mount Washington, KY personal injury lawyer. If you can, bring the crash report number, photos from US 31E or KY 44, and paperwork from UofL Health – South Hospital or wherever you were treated. If a warehouse truck was involved, note the company name on the trailer.
Usually in Bullitt Circuit Court at the Bullitt County Judicial Center, 250 Frank E. Simon Ave., Shepherdsville. If the defendant lives elsewhere, another county may also be an option.
Every jury pool is different. Bullitt County jurors come from Mount Washington, Shepherdsville, Hillview and the rural parts of the county. We prepare the case for the people who will actually hear it.
Through the police report, witness statements, vehicle damage, and often event-data recorder downloads from the cars. Kentucky’s pure comparative fault rule divides responsibility by percentage.
No. Treatment location doesn’t change where the case belongs. We collect records from the ambulance, the Shepherdsville ER and any Louisville hospital that treated you.
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, with no attorney fee unless we recover money for you.
