Lexington, Kentucky
Hurt in a crash or accident in Lexington? Forman & Associates represents injured people across Lexington and Fayette County, from the first insurance call through a jury trial. Free consultation, and no fee unless we recover for you.
Lexington is Kentucky’s second-largest city, and its traffic reflects it: commuters on New Circle Road, University of Kentucky students on foot and on scooters, and freight moving through the I-64/I-75 corridor on the city’s northeast side. If you need a Lexington, KY personal injury lawyer, Forman & Associates Accident Injury Lawyers represents people hurt in Lexington and across Fayette County. We are a Louisville firm and don’t keep a Lexington office, so we come to you. Our office at 1139 S. 4th St. is about 77 miles west, roughly an hour and a half on I-64.
Lexington mixes urban density with high-speed suburban arterials. Nicholasville Road, Richmond Road and Harrodsburg Road carry six lanes of turning traffic past shopping centers, and New Circle Road links them all with short merges and closely spaced exits. Around campus, pedestrians and cyclists share the street with LexTran buses and delivery drivers. Each type of crash raises its own questions. A bus crash may involve a public transit agency. A scooter or bike crash may come down to lane position and visibility. A delivery driver may or may not be covered by the company’s policy.
Fayette Circuit Court sits in the Robert F. Stephens Circuit Courthouse, 120 N. Limestone, Lexington, KY 40507. Fayette District Court is next door at 150 N. Limestone (Kentucky Court of Justice county listing). Larry Forman is also admitted in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, which has a courthouse in Lexington, in case an out-of-state trucking company or insurer moves a case to federal court.
Thousands of students walk, bike and ride scooters around the UK campus, often on streets built for cars. If a driver hits you while you’re walking or riding, Kentucky PIP may cover your medical bills through your own auto policy, a household member’s policy, or the policy on the car that hit you. Out-of-state students should check whether a parent’s policy covers them. A crash on a LexTran bus can involve notice requirements and questions about the agency’s legal protections, so call early. See our bicycle and pedestrian collision, e-scooter crash and bus wreck pages.
A wreck on New Circle Road answers to the same statutes as one on the Watterson. PIP benefits handle early medical bills and lost wages. Suing the other motorist generally has to happen within two years of the crash or of PIP’s final payment, whichever is later (KRS 304.39-230), and comparative fault trims, rather than wipes out, an award.
Meeting with a Lexington, KY personal injury lawyer doesn’t require a stack of paperwork. If you have them, gather the Lexington Police or Kentucky State Police report number, photos of the vehicles and the intersection, and discharge papers from UK Chandler or Baptist Health. If a rideshare or delivery app was running on either phone, write down which one. We can do the first meeting by video, at your home or at the hospital.
Lexington traffic swings with the calendar. Keeneland’s spring and fall meets crowd Versailles Road. Home football and basketball games fill the streets around Kroger Field and Rupp Arena. And every August, student move-in brings rental trucks and out-of-state drivers onto campus streets. Crashes during these surges often involve visitors who head home within a day or two, so get names, phone numbers and insurance cards at the scene. If police are swamped and don’t come out for a minor crash, you can still file your own report, and photos of the cars and the intersection carry extra weight.
Yes. Kentucky lawyers are licensed statewide, and we travel to Fayette County for meetings, depositions and trial.
Possibly. It depends on how the crash happened and what coverage applies. We’ll look at video, witness accounts and the policies involved.
