Where Kentucky Pedestrian Crashes Happen
Downtown crosswalks and parking lots in Louisville and Lexington, college areas near WKU, UK, EKU, and Murray State, and dark rural stretches of US and KY highways without shoulders or lighting all see pedestrian injuries. Distracted and impaired driving, failure to yield at crosswalks, and speeding are leading causes.
Kentucky Law Protects Pedestrians
Drivers must yield to pedestrians in marked and unmarked crosswalks, and Kentucky's no-fault PIP benefits can cover an injured pedestrian's initial medical costs even when they were on foot. Pure comparative fault means a pedestrian can still recover even if partly at fault.
Compensation for Pedestrian Injuries
Pedestrian victims often face traumatic brain injuries, multiple fractures, internal injuries, and long rehabilitation. A complete claim pursues medical expenses, lost income, future care, and pain and suffering, and identifies all available coverage including the pedestrian's own auto policy.
