Travel on any interstate around Louisville can be hazardous when drivers start paying attention to other things than the road. That carelessness can leave a car between two lanes and in the path of other fast-moving vehicles.
The collisions occurring at interstate speeds can be devastating and lead to major injuries for the drivers and passengers involved. In the worst of such cases, victims can be left clinging to life.

Seeking Assistance for Families After a Louisville Accident
The tragedy of car accidents doesn’t end at the crash scene. For the families left behind the feeling of loss will never go away.
After the loss of a loved one, an at-fault driver’s insurance company can be called upon to provide financial assistance. Through a wrongful death claim, a family should expect help with the costs of burial and a memorial service. The expense of emergency response and ambulance fees should also earn reimbursement.
It’s also critical that families receive support to sustain themselves in the future. They’ll be without the guidance and financial support a victim would have provided close relatives in the years to come.
