Are there parties other than the at-fault driver against whom I can take legal action?

 



Lexington Personal Injury | Kentucky Motor Vehicle Attorney |

A:

If you or your family has been injured in a motor vehicle accident, there may be parties other than the driver of the other vehicle who share responsibility for what happened.  A Hurt, Crosbie and May lawyer can help identify the appropriate parties.

There are many examples of negligent conduct by third parties who have been held liable in part for automobile and truck accidents.  For example, if the accident occurred because the other driver was drunk, and a business served alcohol to the visibly intoxicated driver before the accident, Kentucky's "dram shop" law may allow you to also hold the business liable. 

 

Another example includes circumstances where a defect in the automobile, such as a seatbelt malfunction, caused or worsened the accident, the vehicle manufacturer has been held responsible for the injuries that resulted. 

 

For this reason, Hurt, Crosbie and May attorneys attempt to explore and investigate every possible cause of our client's injuries prior to filing suit and before the statute of limitations have expired.
