Automobile and Semi-Truck Accidents Are a Serious Problem in Kentucky

So, I was talking with a non-lawyer friend of mine the other day and he was telling me how lucky we are to live in Louisville--because "we don't have that many car accidents. "
WHAT!!?? 
While I certainly agree we are lucky to live in Louisville, it certainly has nothing to do with the number of car wrecks.  In fact, Kentucky as a whole has statistically more injuries and fatalities involving semi-trucks than other states, probably because of the convergence of I-264 (Watterson Expressway), I-65 (Martin Luther King Highway) and I-64 and I-71, all in Louisville-- this is commonly known around here as Spaghetti Junction.
If you are ever involved in an automobile accident, you should do the following:
  • If someone is injured, you should call for help immediately. Provide basic first aid but don't move an injured person unless you have medical training.
  • Make note of the time of day, any weather factors that may have contributed to the accident, the position of the cars, etc.
  • Courteously exchange information with the other parties involved such as names, addresses, phone numbers, driver's license numbers, insurance companies and policy numbers, if possible.
  • If there were witnesses to the accident, get their names and telephone numbers. If the police are called, make a note of the reporting officer's name.
  • Report the accident to your insurance agent or company as soon as possible, even if you were not at fault.
  • And, if you were injured, and the accident was not your fault, hire a lawyer.
