Lyndon is a small city in northeast Jefferson County, centered on La Grange Road and Westport Road between the Watterson Expressway and the Gene Snyder Freeway. Office parks, apartments, restaurants and older subdivisions make it a busy place at rush hour. If you need a Lyndon, KY personal injury lawyer, Forman & Associates Accident Injury Lawyers represents people hurt in Lyndon and the surrounding cities. Our office at 1139 S. 4th St. is about 10 miles away, roughly 20 minutes, so we can meet you in person easily.
Lyndon sits on two of the main routes between east Louisville and Oldham County. La Grange Road carries traffic out toward Pewee Valley and Crestwood, and Westport Road connects to the Watterson and the office parks along Hurstbourne Parkway. Traffic backs up at the lights, and drivers dart in and out of shopping centers and office entrances. Rear-end collisions, crashes involving drivers turning left from a center lane and crashes with pedestrians walking from apartments to bus stops are common.
Lyndon has its own city government and police department, but an injury lawsuit is filed in Jefferson County. Jefferson Circuit Court, at the Judicial Center at 700 W. Jefferson St., hears claims above District Court’s $5,000 limit (KRS 24A.120), and that’s where a jury trial would take place.
A lot of Lyndon traffic is people driving to or from work, and some are driving for work, such as making deliveries, visiting clients or running errands for an employer. When the at-fault driver was on the job, the employer’s commercial policy may cover the crash in addition to the driver’s personal policy. Rideshare drivers are common here too, and their coverage depends on whether the app was on and whether a trip was in progress. See our rideshare injury, commercial vehicle crash and car crash pages, and our TRIMARC camera guide for crashes on I-264 or I-71.
Lyndon crashes follow Kentucky’s no-fault law. PIP covers early bills. A suit against the negligent driver generally must be filed within two years from injury or last PIP payment (KRS 304.39-230). Employer coverage may also apply.
Talking with a Lyndon, KY personal injury lawyer doesn’t require paperwork. If you can, keep the report number from the Lyndon Police or LMPD, photos of the vehicles and the intersection, and your hospital records. If the other driver was working, note the company name on the vehicle or their uniform.
Lyndon’s office parks and apartment communities create traffic peaks that don’t line up with a typical rush hour. Lunchtime brings a wave of drivers heading to restaurants on La Grange Road and Westport Road, often in a hurry to get back. Delivery drivers and rideshare drivers circle the same blocks. Pedestrians walk from apartments to bus stops, groceries and restaurants along roads without much shoulder. When a crash happens in a parking lot or at a driveway, fault can be disputed, and business cameras are often the best evidence. We know how to ask for them quickly.
It may. If the driver was acting for an employer, the employer and its insurer may be responsible too.
