Bullitt County sits right below Louisville on I-65, and it has become one of the region’s biggest warehouse and logistics areas. That means tractor-trailers on every main road, plus heavy commuter traffic from Shepherdsville, Hillview, Mount Washington and Lebanon Junction. If you need a Bullitt County, KY personal injury lawyer, Forman & Associates Accident Injury Lawyers represents people hurt anywhere in the county. Shepherdsville is about 19 miles from our office at 1139 S. 4th St. in Louisville, roughly 25 minutes down I-65.
Distribution centers line I-65 and KY 61 in Bullitt County, and their trucks run day and night. A crash with a semi means dealing with a carrier, a trucking insurer and federal safety rules, and sometimes a shipper or broker too. The evidence that proves fault is electronic: logging-device data, engine data, dash cameras and dispatch messages. Much of it can be lost if nobody asks for it. If you work in one of these warehouses and were hurt by a forklift or a dock accident involving another company’s equipment, you may have a claim beyond workers’ comp. See our truck wreck and third-party workplace injury pages.
The Bullitt Circuit Court Clerk’s office is in the Bullitt County Judicial Center, 250 Frank E. Simon Ave., Shepherdsville, KY 40165 (Kentucky Court of Justice county listing). That’s where cases from Mount Washington, Hillview, Lebanon Junction and the rest of the county are filed.
Many Bullitt County residents drive to work in Louisville, on I-65 or on KY 61 through Okolona.

Shepherdsville and Mount Washington cases use Kentucky’s statewide motor vehicle statutes. PIP pays first.

A Bullitt County, KY personal injury lawyer can start with very little. Helpful items include the report number from the Bullitt County Sheriff, Shepherdsville Police, Hillview Police or KSP, photos of the truck’s cab and trailer numbers, and records from UofL Health – South. If you were hurt at work, note your employer and the company that owned the equipment.
Bullitt County has grown fast, and much of that growth sits along roads that cross the Salt River and its creeks, with bridges and curves that slow traffic down. New subdivisions in Hillview, Mount Washington and around Shepherdsville feed onto two-lane roads built for far fewer cars. Many crashes happen at entrances where drivers pull out into fast traffic, or behind school buses and garbage trucks that stop often. Bernheim Forest and the Clermont area bring visitors onto KY 245, and they may not know the road. In every one of these cases, early photos and witness names make a difference.
