Louisville Truck Accident Lawyers
Over $100 Million Recovered for Our Clients. No Fees Until You Get Paid.
The Logistics Hub of America is a Danger Zone.
Louisville is the crossroads of the freight world. With UPS Worldport dominating the airport, two Ford assembly plants churning out trucks, and three major interstates (I-65, I-64, I-71) colliding at Spaghetti Junction, our city is swarming with heavy commercial vehicles.
But for Louisville drivers, this economic engine is a daily hazard. Fatigued long-haul truckers rushing to meet deadlines and local delivery drivers racing from the Riverport create a deadly environment on the Watterson and Gene Snyder.
At Freeman Childers, we know that a truck crash is not just a "big car wreck." It is a battle against a billion-dollar corporation. We investigate the company, the maintenance logs, and the driver's history to prove that profit was prioritized over your safety.
Louisville’s "freight Corridors"
We investigate catastrophic accidents in the specific zones where heavy trucks dominate:
Spaghetti Junction (I-65/I-64/I-71): The confusing lane shifts and sudden merges here lead to devastating jackknife and override accidents.
The Gene Snyder (I-265): The primary bypass for 18-wheelers trying to avoid downtown. High-speed collisions are common near the East End Bridge tunnel and the I-64 interchange.
UPS Worldport / Grade Lane: The area surrounding the airport is flooded with delivery vans and freight haulers rushing to the sorting hub.
Riverport Industrial Park: Heavy flatbeds and tankers moving materials on Greenbelt Highway often collide with local traffic.
Ford Plant Zones: The traffic around Fern Valley Road and Chamberlain Lane is heavy with auto-haulers and parts suppliers.
We Fight the "Rapid Response" Teams
Trucking companies like Swift, J.B. Hunt, and UPS have teams of investigators on call 24/7. Within an hour of a crash in Louisville, they are on the scene measuring skid marks and coaching the driver. You need a team that moves just as fast. We move instantly to send a Spoliation Letter to preserve:
The Black Box (ECM): Did the driver brake? How fast were they going?
Electronic Logs (ELDs): Was the driver over their Federal Hours of Service limit (too tired to drive)?
Dash Cam Footage: Many commercial fleets record the driver's face and the road. This footage often "disappears" if not demanded immediately.
Delivery Truck Accidents
With the explosion of e-commerce, Amazon, FedEx, and UPS vans are everywhere in Louisville neighborhoods. These drivers are often under immense pressure to hit delivery quotas. If you are hit by a delivery van in a residential area like St. Matthews or The Highlands, we fight to hold the corporate parent accountable, not just the driver.
Hit by a Big Rig? Call Us Immediately.
The evidence is disappearing every minute you wait. Call 606-528-1000 to stop the trucking company in their tracks.
Resources for Louisville Accident Victims
24-Hour Towing: Local providers like Suburban Towing & Recovery (502-964-6500) or Dave's Towing offer 24/7 emergency recovery, including heavy-duty extraction for larger vehicles.
Official Crash Reports: You can download your official accident report through the LMPD Online Portal. Note: There is typically a $10 fee, and reports take 24-72 hours to appear after the crash.
Real-Time Road Conditions: Before you drive, check the TRIMARC Traffic Map. This system, managed by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, shows live traffic cameras and current snow clearance status on I-65, I-64, and the Gene Snyder.
Emergency Trauma Care: For serious winter collision injuries, UofL Hospital is the region's only Level 1 Trauma Center, located in downtown Louisville.
