Kentucky Car and Truck Accident Statistics for September 6 through September 12, 2009

One of the things I have recently started to review and analyze are the statistics related to car and truck accidents in Kentucky, and in particular, Louisville and Jefferson County. As such, I plan on posting periodic updates with the statistics.

Kentucky State Police data indicates that a total of 1,391 motor vehicle collisions occurred statewide last week. 242 of those wrecks resulted in someone injured on killed. 8 people were killed and another 363 injured as a result of these accidents. Jefferson County accounted for 307 of the total accidents, 42 of which resulted in an injury or death. 72 total injuries or deaths resulted from the Jefferson County wrecks.

That is a lot of bad decisions and poor choices, which have resulted in harms and losses to others, and all in one week! For those who were injured and/or lost their mode of transportation, their lives can easily be turned upside down and become very stressful, particularly if they cannot work while recovering. And to top it off, now they get to deal with an insurance company or two.

When dealing with this situation, an experienced attorney can be very helpful in ensuring that an injured person's rights are protected and all bases that need to be covered are getting covered. From making sure that medical expenses are getting paid, lost wages are being reimbursed to seeing to it that evidence is properly preserved and more, a lawyer can help ease the burden and allow an injury victim to recover without the stress of dealing with all the issues that pop up.
