Georgetown is home to Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky, and shift changes there put thousands of cars and supplier trucks on the roads at the same time. Add I-75 freight traffic, and Scott County sees its share of serious crashes. When you need a Georgetown, KY personal injury lawyer, Forman & Associates Accident Injury Lawyers represents people hurt in Georgetown and throughout Scott County. Our Louisville office at 1139 S. 4th St. is about 70 miles west (roughly 70–75 minutes via I-64 and I-75 north).
Many Georgetown crash victims were on their way to or from work, and some were driving for their employer when they were hit. That can mean two claims at once. Workers’ compensation pays medical bills and part of lost wages regardless of fault. A separate injury claim against an at-fault driver who isn’t your employer can recover what comp doesn’t, including pain and suffering. The two interact through repayment rules, so they should be coordinated from the start. I-75 through Scott County is also a major north–south freight route.
Scott Circuit and District Courts sit in the Scott County Justice Center, 119 N. Hamilton St., Georgetown, KY 40324.
These are some of the main roads drivers use in and around Georgetown. We don’t publish crash counts we can’t source. For official data, see the Kentucky State Police crash data portal and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s highway safety data.
Supplier trucks running to and from the Toyota plant and I-75 freight traffic mean commercial vehicles are on Scott County roads at all hours. If a truck hit you, the motor carrier’s insurance and federal safety records may be involved. If you were on the clock, your employer’s comp carrier may have a lien on part of any third-party recovery. See our third-party workplace injury and truck wreck pages.
For a commuting crash, PIP pays first (how PIP works). The deadline against the at-fault driver is generally two years from the injury or the last PIP payment (KRS 304.39-230). If you were working, workers’ comp may pay instead of PIP, and the comp carrier may seek repayment from your settlement.
When you meet with a Georgetown, KY personal injury lawyer, bring the crash report number, photos and records from Centerpoint Health – Georgetown. If you were driving for work or commuting during a shift change, let us know, because that can affect whether workers’ comp or PIP pays first.
Usually, yes. Workers’ comp covers you through your employer, and you can still bring a separate claim against an at-fault driver who isn’t your employer.
Usually not. Ordinary commuting generally isn’t covered by workers’ comp, so PIP and the at-fault driver’s insurance usually apply. There are exceptions, so we review your specific facts.
Usually in Scott Circuit Court at the Scott County Justice Center, 119 N. Hamilton St.
