Corbin Car Accident Lawyers

Corbin is the crossroads of the Cumberland Valley. With Interstate 75 splitting the town and US-25E funneling traffic from Barbourville and Middlesboro, our roads are some of the busiest in Kentucky.

When you are hurt in a crash here, you don't need a lawyer from Lexington or Louisville who has to look up Cumberland Falls Highway on a map. You need a team that drives these roads every day. At Freeman Childers, our office is right on Main Street. We know the difference between a fender bender in the Kroger parking lot and a catastrophic semi-truck wreck at Exit 25 or Exit 29.

Corbin’s Danger Zones

We handle cases involving the specific hazards that Corbin drivers face daily:

• "Malfunction Junction" (US-25E / US-25W): The confusing split near the shopping centers is a hotspot for T-bone collisions and sideswipes as out-of-town drivers try to figure out which lane to be in.

• I-75 Exit 25 (Cumberland Falls Hwy): Traffic around The Arena, Starbucks, and Cinema Social can be dangerous. We know how to fight against big insurance companies in ways that out-of-town firms don’t.

• I-75 Exit 29: The congestion around Walmart and Lowe's, combined with highway traffic exiting at high speeds, leads to frequent rear-end collisions.

• The Master Street Bypass: As traffic increases, this bypass has become a site for serious high-speed wrecks.

• US-25E: Heavy coal truck traffic and narrow lanes create a deadly mix for commuters heading to Knox County.

Which Police Department Handled Your Crash?

Corbin sits on the county line between Whitley, Know, and Laurel counties. Knowing who filed your report is the first step to winning your case.

• Corbin Police Department: Handles most crashes within city limits, including Main Street and the immediate business districts.

  • Station: 805 S Main St, Corbin, KY.

• Kentucky State Police (Post 11 - London): Typically handles wrecks on I-75 and major state highways like US-25E and KY-26.

• Whitley County Sheriff: Often responds to rural crashes south of town towards Williamsburg.

Medical Treatment in Corbin

If you were taken by ambulance, you likely went to Baptist Health Corbin (formerly Baptist Regional).

• We Obtain Your Records: You do not need to fight with the hospital's billing department. We request your full chart from Baptist Health to prove the severity of your injuries to the insurance company.

• Follow-Up Care: We can help you find physical therapy or specialists in the Tri-County area so you don't have to drive to Lexington for treatment.

The “Interstate” Factor

Because Corbin is a major stop on I-75, many accidents involve:

• Out-of-State Drivers: Tourists from Ohio or Michigan who are speeding to get to Florida.

• Semi-Trucks: Long-haul truckers who are fatigued or unfamiliar with the steep grades near Jellico Mountain. We know how to track down these drivers and their insurance companies, even if they live hundreds of miles away.
