Louisville is our home. Our office is at 1139 S. 4th St., just south of downtown at the edge of Old Louisville, and most of our cases begin within a few miles of it. If you need a Louisville, KY personal injury lawyer, Forman & Associates Accident Injury Lawyers represents people hurt on Louisville interstates, arterials and neighborhood streets, from Valley Station to Middletown. Because we’re local, we can meet you at your home, at the hospital or at our office, often the same day.
Three interstates meet downtown at the Kennedy Interchange, better known as Spaghetti Junction, where I-64, I-65 and I-71 merge and split within a short distance. Two beltways circle the city: the Watterson Expressway (I-264) and the Gene Snyder Freeway (I-265). The busiest surface roads, such as Dixie Highway, Preston Highway, Bardstown Road and Shelbyville Road, combine high traffic volumes with constant turning, bus stops and people on foot. Our Dixie Highway crash guide explains why that corridor sees so many serious wrecks, and our TRIMARC camera guide explains how to request interstate traffic video before it’s gone.
Injury lawsuits over $5,000 are heard by Jefferson Circuit Court in the Jefferson County Judicial Center, 700 W. Jefferson St., Louisville, KY 40202. Jefferson District Court and the Circuit Court Clerk’s office are a block away in the Louis D. Brandeis Hall of Justice, 600 W. Jefferson St. (Kentucky Court of Justice county listing). Our office is a short drive from both.
TARC buses run on most major Louisville corridors. If you were hurt as a bus passenger, as a pedestrian near a stop or in a car hit by a bus, the claim involves a public transit authority, which can raise notice and immunity questions that don’t come up with a private driver. See our bus wreck page. Five Ohio River bridges connect Louisville with Southern Indiana, and many crashes involve a driver insured in Indiana. That can raise extra questions about coverage and which state’s rules an insurer tries to apply. For a crash in Jefferson County, the case is usually filed here.
A Louisville crash runs through Kentucky’s no-fault law like any other: PIP pays first. Suit against the responsible driver is generally due within two years of injury or the last PIP payment (KRS 304.39-230). Pure comparative fault reduces rather than ends a recovery.

To talk with a Louisville, KY personal injury lawyer, call us or stop by. It helps to have the LMPD or Kentucky State Police report number, photos of the vehicles and scene, and your discharge papers. If the crash happened on an interstate, tell us the direction and the nearest exit so we can ask for camera footage quickly.
Louisville’s traffic changes with the calendar. Derby season brings weeks of festival events, visitors and road closures. Concerts, games and conventions downtown send crowds across busy streets at night. Interstate and bridge projects shift lanes and close ramps, sometimes for months. Visitors who don’t know the roads, drivers following GPS through unfamiliar ramps and people walking between events all raise the risk. When a crash happens during a big event or in a work zone, video from businesses and traffic cameras disappears quickly. Call early, and we’ll send preservation requests the same day.
Yes. Claims involving a public transit authority can carry special notice requirements and defenses, so call early.
