Helping Kentucky residents recover from automobile, truck and tractor trailer accidents

Have you been injured by someone’s negligence? Has your loved one been injured or died as a result of someone else’s irresponsibility? Were you involved in a collision and injured by a drunken driver? Then you may have a case and we can help you resolve it.

Automobile, truck, and tractor-trailer accident and related deaths and injuries happen too frequently and the numbers grow yearly. These devastating occurrences may have been prevented. If you, or a loved one were involved in a collision where you were not at fault, we would like to help you pursue justice.

According to the Kentucky State Police Statistic just in 4 months of the year of 2007 there were 256 fatalities (as of May 3rd). Unfortunately, the numbers are on the uprise. Just for the same period in 2006 there were 250 fatalities. That means that in just in one year there will be a total fatality increase of 24.

While The Kentucky State Police is committed to the safety of citizens of the Commonwealth we are committed to protecting your rights when they were violated by somebody else. We realize what a loss it can be for you to be injured or to lose a loved one – and then we are ready to commit to pursue justice. We will evaluate your case, provide you with nformation on our strategies, initiate the investigation and, if necessary, take the case to trial.

At The Poppe Law Firm we are dedicated to your proper compensation in fighting for justice and punishing those that ignore the rules and don’t obey the laws.

Automobile, Semi, Truck, Tractor-Trailer Accidents

As IT technologies develop, humans rely on computers more and more. Computer technologies are widely used today for the visualization of the collision mechanisms to define the causes and prove the negligence of the defendant in an accident case.

Auto, tractor-trailer or truck accidents are not simple cases. They should always involve a thorough analysis. During the process of prosecution, often times, reconstructionists, crash impact specialists and human factor experts are hired for the purposes of investigation. Employing a toxicologist is appropriate when alcohol and drugs are involved in an accident. At The Poppe Law Firm we know what specialists are needed for your case beforehand. We use our wide knowledgebase along with our experience to resolve your case to your advantage. The Poppe Law Firm has worked with respected professionals in every possible field that might be appropriate for your Kentucky accident case. Accident case analysis has become the best possible evidence for officials in explaining the exact mechanism of injury. Such an illustration always includes photographs of client’s injuries. The injury photographs are correlated with the mechanism of an accident and a comprehensive illustration is created. We hire professional medical illustrators for reviewing the medical records and creating medical textbook-quality illustrations for use at a trial.

When we receive a complete report from the investigators we choose the best possible strategy for your case. Then we employ our knowledge and experience in Kentucky courts in fighting for your rights.

With our extensive experience in litigation and court proceedings, The Poppe Law Firm is more than capable of handling even the most complex automobile or tractor-trailer accident case.
