Your Trusted Advocate In Personal Injury Cases

Local Car Accident Attorney

I understand the pain and frustration that comes with a car wreck. Getting help can seem like an overwhelming process, and it is important to have a patient, compassionate advocate.

At my firm, Adamson Law, PLLC, I have the skill and experience necessary to support those who have been injured in car and truck wrecks. My name is Jeff W. Adamson, and I will fight for the injured victims to get the recovery they need and deserve.

Getting Help After A Car Wreck

Car crashes can turn your life upside down. There are several steps that are essential to take in a motor vehicle personal injury claim, such as the following:
  • Going to the doctor: Visiting a physician helps establish what caused your injury and when it happened.
  • Filing a police report: A report from the responding officer can help establish which driver was at fault for the wreck.
  • Exchanging information with the other driver: The other driver’s information will be a critical part of seeking recovery after a wreck.
  • Talking to a lawyer: An attorney can guide you through the steps that you need to take after your wreck to seek recovery from the other driver or their insurance company.
Often, these steps need to be taken right away after a wreck so that there is accurate information to move forward with a claim. I help clients through the entire process so that they can focus on getting better. I also support family members who have lost loved ones in deadly car crashes. I manage all aspects of the process, from opening the estate to pursuing a wrongful death claim to obtaining compensation for the spouses and children left behind.

Common Types Of Motor Vehicle Wrecks

There are many types of vehicle accidents that can occur throughout Kentucky. Some of the most common ones include:

  • Motorcycle wrecks
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • SUV rollovers
  • ATV accidents
  • Boating accidents
  • T-Bone collisions
  • Rear-end collisions
  • Highway multicar pileups
  • Intersection accidents
  • Speeding-related crashes
  • Wrong-way driving accidents

I have the skill and knowledge to help you navigate any of these types of motor vehicle wrecks. I can also handle cases involving collisions between cars and trains, as I’m familiar with how the CSX Transportation LCL Subdivision tracks in La Grange are embedded within Main Street from Fourth Avenue to Cedar Avenue, which allows freight trains to join the street’s mixed traffic. This can lead to serious accidents as well. No matter what kind of wreck you were involved in, you deserve to seek compensation for your injury, and I can help at Adamson Law, PLLC.

What Makes A Truck Crash Different

While the injuries and vehicle damage can be more severe after a collision with a commercial truck, there are other important differences between car and truck accidents when it is time to make a claim. Rather than holding one driver responsible for injuries, in truck collisions, there may be other parties involved, including:

  • The trucking company: Often, the company that the driver works for is responsible for the actions of the driver when its driver causes the wreck because it failed to train, supervise or fire the driver before the wreck occurred.
  • Employees who loaded the truck: When a truck is not loaded properly, the weight can shift, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
  • Multiple insurers: Truck companies and their drivers often have several layers of insurance protection in case of an accident.
  • Vehicle manufacturers: When a truck does not perform as it should, the manufacturer may be liable for building an unsafe truck.
  • Road contractors: When an ongoing road construction project creates unreasonable hazards on the roadway, it can cause cars and trucks to crash.

A claim against a truck driver also will likely include getting the driver’s records for how long they were driving and whether they had appropriate breaks. The layers of a claim against a truck driver and trucking company can make it challenging to determine who is at fault and who is responsible for the injuries caused by the wreck.
