Harrodsburg calls itself the oldest town in Kentucky, and its history draws a steady stream of visitors to Old Fort Harrod and to Shaker Village on US 68. Herrington Lake brings boaters, and many residents commute to Danville, Lexington or Frankfort. If you need a Harrodsburg, KY personal injury lawyer, Forman & Associates Accident Injury Lawyers represents people hurt in Harrodsburg and throughout Mercer County. Our office at 1139 S. 4th St. in Louisville is about 72 miles away, roughly an hour and a half by the BlueGrass Parkway and US 127.
Mercer County roads are mostly two-lane, and they carry more than you’d expect: tourists who don’t know the curves, farm equipment, trucks towing boats to Herrington Lake, and commuters trying to make up time on US 127. Head-on and run-off-road crashes are common on curvy stretches, and rear-end crashes happen behind slow-moving tractors and trailers. Visitors from out of state may have unfamiliar insurance, and rental cars bring their own coverage questions.
The Mercer Circuit Court Clerk’s office is in the Mercer County Judicial Center, 224 S. Main St., Harrodsburg, KY 40330 (Kentucky Court of Justice county listing). Most Mercer County injury lawsuits are filed there.
A crash with a visitor often means a quick exchange of information followed by a long drive home for them. Photograph their license, insurance card and vehicle before they leave. Lake traffic raises its own issues. A boat trailer that comes loose or a truck that can’t stop with a heavy load can cause serious crashes, and injuries on the water are handled differently from road crashes. If you were hurt at an attraction or on someone else’s property, the owner’s duty to keep visitors safe may come into play. See our boating injury, premises liability and car crash pages.
Mercer County wrecks fall under the same no-fault scheme as Lexington’s. Your PIP carrier pays initial medical and wage losses. Suing the responsible driver generally must happen within two years after the injury or PIP’s latest check, whichever is later (KRS 304.39-230).
To talk with a Harrodsburg, KY personal injury lawyer, gather what you can: the report number from the Harrodsburg Police, the Mercer County Sheriff or Kentucky State Police, photos of the scene and the other vehicle, and your records from Haggin Hospital or Ephraim McDowell. If a boat or trailer was involved, note the owner’s name.
Many Harrodsburg residents work in Danville, Lexington or Frankfort, so US 127 and US 68 carry commuter traffic at both ends of the day. Farm equipment and livestock trailers share those roads, and the Kentucky River gorge on the county’s eastern edge brings steep, winding stretches. When a crash happens on a curve with no shoulder, the investigation often comes down to speed, lane position and sight distance. Measurements and photos taken soon after the crash, before skid marks fade, help reconstruct it. If you can’t take them, we can send someone to the scene.
Yes. Their insurance can still be pursued, and a crash in Mercer County can be filed here.
Often the driver towing it, and possibly whoever hitched or maintained the trailer. Their auto policy usually applies.
