Driving "The Dixie" Shouldn't Be a Death Wish.
Everyone in Louisville knows that Dixie Highway is dangerous. It is a massive, high-speed arterial road lined with hundreds of businesses, confusing turn lanes, and aggressive drivers. For residents of Shively, navigating this chaos is a daily necessity.
When you are hit in Shively, you aren't just dealing with a fender bender; you are often dealing with high-speed impacts and severe injuries. Whether it was a T-bone collision pulling out of a dealership or a rear-end crash near the Watterson Expressway ramps, the damage is real.
Crucially, Shively is an independent city. Your accident report will likely be handled by the Shively Police Department, not LMPD. At Freeman Childers, we know the specific dangers of the "Golden Mile." We don't let out-of-town insurance adjusters treat you like just another statistic on Dixie Highway.
Shively’s Danger Zones
We investigate accidents in the specific corridors where Shively families are most at risk:
Dixie Highway (US-31W): The most notorious road in the county. Frequent lane changes and speeding lead to catastrophic multi-car pileups.
Cane Run Road: Heavy industrial traffic and semi-trucks moving to and from the riverport create a high risk for collisions with smaller passenger cars.
The Watterson Interchange (I-264): The ramps where the expressway meets Dixie Highway are frequent sites for merge accidents and sideswipes.
Rockford Lane: A busy connector road where intersection accidents are common during school rush hours.
Pedestrians Are at Risk Here
Shively has one of the highest rates of pedestrian accidents in Kentucky. With bus stops lining the high-speed lanes of Dixie Highway and crosswalks that are few and far between, walkers are constantly in danger. If you or a loved one were struck while walking to a TARC stop or crossing the street, the driver is almost always at fault. We fight to hold them accountable for failing to yield.
We Fight for "Maximum Medical Improvement"
Injuries on Dixie Highway are rarely minor. We help you get the treatment you need at U of L Hospital or Mary & Elizabeth Hospital and ensure the insurance company pays for the full cost of your recovery, not just the first ER bill.
