Protecting Knox County Families on Dangerous Roads.
Barbourville offers the best of small-town Kentucky living, centered around our historic Court Square and Union College. But geographically, we sit right in the path of one of the state's busiest freight corridors. US-25E (The Cumberland Gap Parkway) brings thousands of heavy trucks and speeding travelers through our community every day.
When big-city traffic meets local roads, accidents happen. Whether it’s a T-bone collision at a busy intersection on the Parkway or a pedestrian injury near the college campus, the injuries can be life-changing.
At Freeman Childers, we know Knox County. We know the roads, we know the juries, and we know how to fight for our neighbors against insurance companies that try to undervalue "small town" claims.
Handling Barbourville’s Specific Dangers
We investigate accidents in the specific zones where Knox County drivers are most at risk:
The US-25E Corridor: High-speed collisions near the Flat Lick and Artemus intersections, often involving 18-wheelers or coal trucks failing to stop.
Union College Campus: Representing students and pedestrians struck in crosswalks on College Street or Manchester Street.
The Court Square: Fender-benders and sideswipes in the tight traffic flow around the historic downtown district.
KY-11 (The "Old Pike"): Run-off-the-road accidents and head-on collisions on the winding narrow lanes connecting to Clay County.
We Don’t Just Take Car Wrecks
Our Barbourville personal injury practice covers the full spectrum of negligence:
Slip and Falls: Holding property owners accountable for unsafe sidewalks on the Square or untreated ice in parking lots.
Commercial Truck Accidents: Fighting the logistics companies that use Knox County as a shortcut to I-75.
Dog Bites: Protecting children attacked in residential neighborhoods like Heidrick or Girdler.
Wrongful Death: Helping families find answers when a tragedy occurs on our roads.
We Know the Knox Circuit Court
Winning a case in Barbourville requires more than just knowing the law; it requires knowing the venue. Out-of-town lawyers might treat a case in Knox Circuit Court the same as one in Lexington. We know better. We understand how local juries think and how to present evidence effectively in our specific courthouse.
Why Choose Freeman Childers?
We Are Accessible: You don't need to drive to Lexington to find a powerful legal team.
We Are Aggressive: We investigate immediately—pulling camera footage from local businesses before it gets deleted.
No Fee Guarantee: You pay $0 upfront. We only get paid if we win your settlement.
