Richmond’s Eastern Bypass is the city’s main commercial strip, with heavy traffic, frequent turns and the regional hospital along it. EKU adds thousands of student drivers and pedestrians. I-75’s interchanges bring long-haul trucks into the mix. Madison County’s court offices are split among several downtown buildings: Circuit Court and the clerk are at the courthouse on West Main, and District Court is at the Hall of Justice.
Madison Circuit Court and the Circuit Court Clerk are at the Madison County Courthouse, 101 W. Main St., Richmond, KY 40475. District Court is at the Hall of Justice, 351 W. Main St. (Kentucky Court of Justice county listing).
I-75 is one of the country’s main north–south freight routes. A crash with a tractor-trailer can involve federal driving-hour limits, maintenance failures, overweight loads, and a carrier based far from Kentucky. We demand that the electronic logging data, engine data and video be preserved right away, and we look at everyone who may share responsibility. See our truck wreck page.
For a Richmond crash, PIP pays first (how PIP works) and the deadline against the at-fault driver is generally two years from the injury or the last PIP payment (KRS 304.39-230). Kentucky’s pure comparative fault rule applies to student and out-of-state drivers alike.
EKU students, Berea residents and I-75 travelers all end up in Richmond’s emergency rooms after crashes.
