London, KY Car Accident Lawyers

London is the heartbeat of the Cumberland Valley. As the county seat and a major retail hub, our roads are flooded with traffic from the Hal Rogers Parkway and Interstate 75.

A crash in London is often legally complex. You might be dealing with a trucking company from Ohio that wrecked at Exit 41, a distracted driver on the Bypass (KY-192), or a coal truck on the Parkway. When this happens, you need a lawyer who knows the local court system—not an out-of-town firm that thinks London is just a gas station stop.

At Freeman Childers, we know Laurel County. We know how to work with the Laurel Circuit Court, we know the judges, and we know how to get results for our neighbors.

London’s "Danger Zones"

We investigate accidents in the specific corridors where London drivers are most at risk:

• Hal Rogers Parkway (Formerly Daniel Boone Parkway): The high-speed interchange with US-25 and I-75 is notorious for severe collisions, especially involving heavy freight.

• The Bypass (KY-192): With the density of restaurants, shopping centers, and hotels, this road sees frequent T-bone and rear-end accidents caused by distracted tourists and shoppers.

• I-75 Exit 41: The congestion around this exit, combined with highway speeds, leads to devastating multi-car pileups.

• US-25 (Main Street): High traffic volume through downtown London often results in sideswipes and pedestrian accidents.

Who Handled Your Accident Report?

London has multiple police agencies. Knowing who to call is the first step in your case.

• London Police Department: Handles crashes within the city limits, including most of the Bypass and Main Street.

• Laurel County Sheriff: Typically handles wrecks in the county, such as on KY-80 or rural stretches of US-25.

• Kentucky State Police (Post 11): Almost always handles accidents on I-75 and the Hal Rogers Parkway.

Medical Care: Saint Joseph London vs. UK

Most accident victims in London are taken to Saint Joseph London off I-75.

• We Get Your Records Fast: We have a system in place to request your chart from Saint Joseph so we can value your claim quickly.

• Trauma Transfers: If your injury was severe (like a TBI or complex fracture), you may have been airlifted to UK Hospital in Lexington. We handle the complex billing disputes that arise when you are treated at two different hospitals for the same crash.

The County Seat Advantage

Because London is the county seat, your lawsuit will likely be filed in Laurel Circuit Court. You need a lawyer who is in that courthouse regularly. We know the local procedures and how to select a jury of your peers from Laurel County, ensuring you get a fair trial.
