Your Trusted Advocate In Personal Injury Cases

Dedicated Representation From A Louisville Motorcycle Accident Attorney

Distracted driving, unsafe lane changes, speeding and failure to yield contribute to severe motorcycle crashes not only in the Louisville area but also across Kentucky. If you have an injury from a motorcycle accident and you are facing medical bills and time away from work, you need someone who cares about your recovery.

I am Jeff Adamson, founder of Adamson Law, PLLC. I grew up in La Grange and know this community well. Today, I keep law offices in La Grange and Louisville so that I can serve my neighbors and the broader community. Big downtown firms often pass your case to a junior associate or a paralegal, but your motorcycle accident case will be handled directly by me. I work hard to build the strongest case I can for maximum compensation.

Kentucky’s Unique Motorcycle Laws

Kentucky has specific legal rules that apply to motorcycle riders. These are some of the important things to know about motorcycle accident laws in Kentucky:

  • Comparative fault: Kentucky uses pure comparative fault, which means that you can still recover money even if you share some blame for the crash.
  • Insurance coverage: Under KRS 304.39-110, motorcyclists need minimum bodily injury coverage ($25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident) and property damage coverage ($25,000).
  • Helmets and safety: Riders under 21 years old, riders with an instruction permit and riders with less than one year of experience must wear a helmet. All riders must wear eye protection.

Understanding these laws helps you know what your rights are in a motorcycle or car accident.

Motorcycle Wrongful Death Claims In Kentucky

In Kentucky, a personal representative of the deceased person’s estate can file a wrongful death lawsuit. Families may recover compensation for:

  • Funeral expenses
  • Medical costs
  • Lost earning potential
  • Emotional loss
  • Punitive damages

According to KRS 413.180, you have one year from the date of appointing the estate representative to file a wrongful death claim. Reaching out to a personal injury lawyer quickly can help preserve evidence for your case.
