Why Erlanger cases are different

The airport is next door, but technically it’s in Boone County, and that matters. A crash near the Erlanger–airport border can fall in either Kenton or Boone County, which changes the courthouse. Air-cargo operations at CVG bring tractor-trailers and box trucks onto I-71/75 and local connector roads at all hours. And many drivers here are visitors in rental cars, which raises questions about whose insurance pays first and how much coverage exists.

Where Erlanger injury cases are heard

Kenton Circuit and District Courts are based at the Kenton County Justice Center, 230 Madison Ave., Covington, KY 41011 (Kentucky Court of Justice county listing). Crashes that happen on the Boone County side of the airport area are generally heard in Boone County instead.

Rental cars, shuttles and cargo trucks

If a rental car hit you, coverage may come from the driver’s own policy, coverage bought at the counter, or the rental company. Hotel and parking shuttles are usually covered by commercial policies. Air-cargo trucks are subject to federal trucking rules, and their logging data and dash-camera video should be preserved quickly. See our truck wreck lawyer and rideshare injury pages, the latter for Uber or Lyft crashes on the way to or from the airport.

Kentucky law in brief

For an Erlanger crash, PIP pays first (how PIP works) and the claim against the at-fault driver is generally due within two years (KRS 304.39-230). When the other driver is a visitor with low limits, your own underinsured motorist coverage may matter most.

What to have ready

If a rental car, hotel shuttle or cargo truck hit you near the airport, the driver may have given you a company name rather than personal insurance. Bring that, along with photos, your own insurance card and records from St. Elizabeth Edgewood, when you meet with an Erlanger, KY personal injury lawyer. Travelers who leave town quickly can be hard to reach later, so any phone number or email you collected at the scene is worth keeping. We’ll follow up with the companies involved.

Frequently asked questions

A traveler in a rental car hit me near the airport. Whose insurance pays?

Usually the renter’s own auto policy first, then any coverage bought at the counter, and sometimes the rental company’s. Your UM/UIM coverage can fill gaps.

Is a crash near CVG in Kenton County or Boone County?

It depends on the exact location. The airport itself is in Boone County. We confirm the county from the police report before filing.

I was in an Uber leaving the airport when we crashed. Who covers me?

Rideshare companies carry commercial coverage while a trip is in progress, and Kentucky PIP may apply as well. See our rideshare injury page.

A cargo truck sideswiped me on I-75. What should I do?

Get medical care, keep your documents, and call us quickly so we can demand the truck’s electronic data and video before it’s overwritten.

Is the consultation free?

Yes, and there’s no attorney fee unless we recover money for you.
