According to the Kentucky State Police collision and injury data, over there have been more than six thousand injured in Jefferson County motor vehicle accidents this year.  What should you do if you are injured in a Jefferson County motor vehicle accident?

The first and most important thing is to seek a thorough medical evaluation after any accident within 48 hours, even if you believe you are not injured.  If you are not examined by a physician within 48 hours of any accident you seriously jeopardize and in most cases preclude the possibility of filing a personal injury claim at a later date.

The challenge is this: many injuries, including some serious and potentially permanent injuries, do not present any symptoms for several days or weeks after the accident.  This is why it is important to get a thorough medical check-up after any collision.  The forces associated with any Louisville car accident are quite severe, and even collisions at slower speeds can result in substantial injury to the head, neck or back.

While there have been more than six thousand injured in Jefferson County motor vehicle accidents this year, over a thousand of those have involved a commercial vehicle or truck.  Accidents involving trucks or commercial vehicles usually result in more serious injuries and in some cases a loss of life.  Truck accident injury cases involve substantial amounts of liability.  The insurance carriers representing trucking companies create extensive legal challenges in an attempt to limit their client’s exposure.
