Lexington Pedestrian Accident Lawyers
Over $100 Million Recovered for Our Clients. No Fees Until You Get Paid.
You Have the Right of Way. We Make Sure Drivers Pay.
Lexington is a walking city. From students crossing Limestone to get to class, to families walking downtown for a game at Rupp Arena, our sidewalks are busy. But Lexington drivers are often too distracted to notice.
Whether it’s a driver texting at a red light, a delivery truck turning right on red without looking, or a speeder on Nicholasville Road, pedestrians are vulnerable. When 3,000 pounds of metal hits a human body, there is no such thing as a "minor" accident.
At Freeman Childers, we protect the most vulnerable people on the road. We know that Kentucky law protects pedestrians in the crosswalk, and we fight the insurance companies that try to blame you for "jaywalking" to avoid paying your medical bills.
Where Lexington Pedestrians Are Most at Risk
We investigate accidents in the high-danger zones where walkers are frequently struck:
University of Kentucky Campus: Students hit in crosswalks on Euclid Avenue and Rose Street by distracted rideshare drivers.
Downtown Intersections: Pedestrians struck by turning vehicles at Main & Broadway or near Cheapside Park.
Nicholasville Road / The Mall: Shoppers walking through massive parking lots at Fayette Mall or trying to cross near bus stops on this high-speed arterial.
School Zones: Children injured near Henry Clay High or Lafayette High during drop-off and pick-up times.
The "Jaywalking" Defense
Insurance adjusters love to claim the pedestrian was at fault. They will say you were:
Looking at your phone.
Crossing against the light.
Not in a marked crosswalk.
We investigate to prove them wrong. Even if you weren't in a painted crosswalk, Kentucky driver's have a duty of care to avoid hitting you. We pull traffic camera footage, witness statements, and black box data to show the driver was speeding or distracted and could have stopped in time.
Catastrophic Injury Representation
Pedestrian accidents often result in life-altering trauma. We fight for maximum compensation for:
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): From the impact with the vehicle or the pavement.
Spinal Cord Injuries: Leading to partial or full paralysis.
Complex Fractures: Broken legs and pelvis injuries that require surgery at UK Trauma Center.
Wrongful Death: Helping families find justice when a loved one is taken too soon.
