Central Kentucky & the Bluegrass
Hurt in a crash or accident in Central Kentucky? Forman & Associates represents injured people across the Bluegrass, from the first insurance call through a jury trial. Free consultation, and no fee unless we recover for you.
Central Kentucky stretches from the state capital in Frankfort through the horse farms around Lexington and out to the college towns of Richmond, Berea and Danville. If you need a Central Kentucky personal injury lawyer, Forman & Associates Accident Injury Lawyers represents people hurt on the interstates, parkways and country roads of the Bluegrass. Our office at 1139 S. 4th St. in Louisville is about an hour from Frankfort and an hour and a half from Lexington on I-64. We travel to your county for meetings and court.
This region mixes very different kinds of traffic. Manufacturing plants and distribution centers near Georgetown and along I-75 run shifts around the clock. Bourbon distilleries draw tour vans and rental cars to rural routes in Anderson, Woodford and Franklin Counties. Horse farms put trailers and farm vehicles on narrow roads with stone walls and no shoulders. And university towns add young drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. Each one leads to a different kind of claim, with different insurance and evidence.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s highway safety data keeps the official Bluegrass counts. The crashes people call us about often happen on:
Every page has local roads, courts and hospitals:
Injuries around horses come up more often here than anywhere else in Kentucky. Some happen on the road, when a trailer jackknifes or a loose horse wanders into traffic. Others happen in barns and at events. Kentucky has a farm animal activity law that can limit some claims involving the inherent risks of working with horses, but it has exceptions, and it doesn’t cover ordinary traffic negligence. See our horse-related injury and agricultural equipment injury pages.
Bluegrass horse farms or Frankfort’s state offices, the statute book is identical. PIP goes first. After that, think in terms of a two-year clock that starts at the injury or restarts with PIP’s final payment, if later (KRS 304.39-230). Comparative blame cuts damages proportionally (how that works).
To talk with a Central Kentucky personal injury lawyer, call us or send a message with what happened, the report number if you have it, and where you were treated, whether at UK Chandler, a Baptist Health or Saint Joseph hospital, or a local emergency room. We’ll call you back, and we can meet in your county or by video.
Central Kentucky is home to the University of Kentucky, Eastern Kentucky University, Kentucky State University, Berea College, Centre College and Georgetown College, so young drivers, pedestrians and cyclists are a big part of local traffic. Large employers, including the Toyota plant in Georgetown, run shifts that put thousands of commuters on I-75, US 62 and the parkways at the same hours. Long commutes on the BlueGrass and Mountain Parkways also mean fatigue and deer, especially at dawn and dusk. Each of these crash types has its own evidence: shift schedules, phone records, campus video and vehicle data.
No. Our office is in Louisville, but we handle cases throughout Central Kentucky and travel for meetings, depositions and trials.
It depends on what happened. A tour operator, a property owner or another driver may be involved. We’ll look at the facts and the insurance.
Not necessarily. It has limits and exceptions, and it generally doesn’t apply to an ordinary car crash. We’ll review how the injury happened.
