Murray is the seat of Calloway County, home to Murray State University and a short drive from the western shore of Kentucky Lake. If you need a Murray, KY personal injury lawyer, Forman & Associates Accident Injury Lawyers represents people injured in Murray and throughout Calloway County.

Murray’s traffic swings with the university calendar and the lake season. During the school year, students drive, walk and ride around campus and US 641. In summer, visitors heading to Kentucky Lake marinas and resorts fill KY 94 and the lake roads. Calloway County cases are heard at the judicial building on North 4th Street.
Calloway Circuit and District Courts are at the Calloway County Judicial Building, 312 N. 4th St., Murray, KY 42071 (Kentucky Court of Justice county listing).
Many lake injuries don’t involve another boat. They happen on docks, at marinas, or with rented equipment. Rotted boards, missing railings, poor lighting, electrical hazards near the water, and rental boats or personal watercraft that weren’t maintained can all lead to premises or negligence claims against the business responsible. Kentucky premises claims generally have a one-year deadline (KRS 413.140). See our premises liability and electrical injury pages.
For a Calloway County car crash, PIP pays first (how PIP works) with a two-year deadline against the at-fault driver (KRS 304.39-230). Dock, marina and rental injuries usually have a one-year deadline.
If you were hurt at a marina or on a rental boat, keep the rental agreement, receipts and any safety briefing paperwork, and photograph the dock or equipment before it’s fixed. For a crash on US 641 or KY 94, the report number and vehicle photos come first. Murray State students should also bring their insurance card and a parent’s policy if they’re covered under it. Bring the records from Murray-Calloway County Hospital to your meeting with a Murray, KY personal injury lawyer. Since Murray is far from Louisville, most of this can be shared by phone or email.
Possibly, against the marina or property owner, if they knew or should have known about the hazard. Photograph it right away, because repairs can erase the evidence.
The rental company may be, for poor maintenance or inadequate instruction, and the manufacturer may be if there was a defect. See our jet ski injury page.
Your own policy, or possibly a parent’s policy if you’re covered as a resident relative, plus the at-fault driver’s coverage.
