When Lexington Freezes, Negligence Causes Chaos.
Driving in Lexington is difficult enough on a dry day. When snow hits, the I-75 / I-64 Split becomes one of the most dangerous stretches of highway in America.
But many of these "accidents" aren't accidents at all. They are the result of drivers refusing to slow down on New Circle Road, commercial trucks speeding through the Hamburg interchange, and property owners ignoring the ice on their sidewalks.
Freeman Childers knows the difference between bad weather and bad driving. If you were injured in Fayette County this winter, we are here to investigate.
The "Split" & The Spoke Roads
Lexington’s unique layout creates specific winter hazards that out-of-town lawyers don't understand. We handle claims involving:
The I-75 / I-64 Split (Newtown Pike): This merging zone is notorious for black ice pile-ups. Drivers weaving across lanes at high speeds during sleet are legally liable for the wrecks they cause.
New Circle Road (KY-4): The bridges and overpasses on New Circle freeze long before the main road. We see rear-end collisions here when drivers fail to anticipate the "bridge ice."
Man o' War Boulevard: The stop-and-go traffic on this major artery creates a high risk of "sliding" collisions at intersections.
The "24-Hour Rule" (LFUCG Ordinance § 12-8.4)
If you slipped on an icy sidewalk in Chevy Chase, Downtown, or near UK Campus, the property owner might be responsible. Under Lexington-Fayette Ordinance § 12-8.4, property owners generally have 24 hours after a snow event ends to clear their sidewalks.
Did the landlord ignore the snow for two days?
Did a business plow their parking lot but shovel the snow onto the sidewalk? This is negligence, and you can sue for your medical bills.
UK Students & Pedestrian Accidents
We have a special focus on protecting University of Kentucky students. With thousands of students walking to class on Limestone and Euclid, pedestrian injuries are common.
If a car slides through a crosswalk and hits you, the driver is at fault—not the snow.
If an apartment complex near campus fails to salt the stairs, they are liable for your broken bone.
Trauma Care in Lexington
We work directly with case managers at UK Chandler Hospital (Level 1 Trauma) and Baptist Health Lexington to ensure your settlement covers future physical therapy, not just today's ER bill.
