Florence is Boone County’s largest city and one of Northern Kentucky’s busiest shopping and job centers. The interstate, the mall area and the warehouses near the airport keep traffic moving around the clock. If you need a Florence, KY personal injury lawyer, Forman & Associates Accident Injury Lawyers represents people hurt in Florence and throughout Boone County. Our office at 1139 S. 4th St. in Louisville is about 89 miles away, roughly an hour and forty-five minutes up I-71. We’ll come to you in Boone County, including a hospital room, or talk by video.
Florence packs a lot of traffic into a small area. Shoppers turn in and out of retail lots along Mall Road, US 42 and Houston Road. Interstate traffic exits I-71/75 and merges right back on. Distribution centers and the air cargo operations at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, a few miles west in Hebron, put delivery vans and tractor-trailers on Florence roads at all hours. The result is a steady stream of rear-end crashes, left-turn collisions, parking-lot crashes and commercial truck wrecks.
Florence isn’t the county seat. Boone County lawsuits go to Burlington, where the Boone Circuit Court Clerk’s office is in the Boone County Justice Center, 6025 Rogers Lane, Burlington, KY 41005 (Kentucky Court of Justice county listing).
If a delivery van or box truck hit you, the first question is who the driver worked for. Some drivers are employees, some are contractors, and some drive their own vehicles for an app. That answer decides which insurance applies. Tractor-trailers bring federal safety rules and electronic data that should be preserved quickly. Parking-lot crashes and falls at stores are common here, too, and store video is often recorded over within days. See our commercial vehicle crash, truck wreck and slip and fall pages.
Even when an Ohio driver causes a crash near the Florence Mall, Boone County’s Kentucky no-fault rules apply. PIP pays first. You generally have two years, measured from injury or the last PIP check, to sue (KRS 304.39-230). Store falls may carry one year.
To get started with a Florence, KY personal injury lawyer, have the report number from the Florence Police, the Boone County Sheriff or Kentucky State Police, along with photos of the vehicles and the intersection, the name of any delivery company, and your St. Elizabeth Florence records. If it happened at a store, ask the manager to save the video.
Florence’s traffic peaks at predictable times. Holiday shopping season packs the mall area for weeks. Event nights at Turfway Park add traffic on Turfway Road. And at all hours, travelers race to and from the airport, sometimes unfamiliar with the interchanges and watching their phones for directions. Rideshare drivers are a big part of airport traffic, and their coverage depends on whether a trip was in progress. If you were hurt in a rideshare vehicle or by one, screenshots of the app showing the trip can be important. See our rideshare injury page.
It depends on the driver’s relationship with the company and the policies involved. We’ll identify every source of coverage.
