Ensure Safety and Seek Medical Attention
Your immediate priority after an auto accident should be to ensure the safety of yourself and others involved. Move vehicles out of traffic if possible, turn on hazard lights, and check for injuries. It is crucial to seek medical attention, even if you think your injuries are minor, as some symptoms may take time to manifest.

Don’t Face Challenges Alone
Facts Regarding Auto Accidents in Kentucky
#1 High Rate of Distracted Driving
Distracted driving is a leading cause of auto accidents in Kentucky. Whether it's texting, talking on the phone, or using in-car technologies, any form of distraction can lead to severe consequences on the road. Kentucky law prohibits drivers from text messaging while operating a motor vehicle, highlighting the seriousness of the issue.
#2 Seasonal Weather Conditions
Kentucky's diverse climate means that drivers often face challenging weather conditions, such as rain, snow, and ice. These conditions can significantly increase the risk of accidents, as roads become slick and visibility is reduced. It's crucial for drivers to adjust their speed and maintain a safe following distance during inclement weather.
#3 Rural Roadway Hazards
Many areas in Kentucky are rural, and these roads can pose unique hazards such as narrow lanes, sharp curves, limited signage, and wildlife. These factors contribute to a higher rate of accidents and fatalities in rural areas compared to urban settings. Drivers should exercise heightened caution when traveling on rural roads to prevent accidents.
