Somerset Personal Injury & Car Accident Lawyers

Somerset isn't just a town; it is the commercial engine of South Central Kentucky. Between the thousands of locals commuting to work and the seasonal flood of tourists heading to Lake Cumberland, our roads handle more traffic than almost anywhere else in the region.

The mix of frustrated commuters on US-27, confused tourists towing boats, and heavy 18-wheelers on the Parkwaycreates a dangerous environment. Accidents on "The Strip" aren't just fender benders—they often result in serious spinal injuries and long-term pain.

At Freeman Childers, we know Pulaski County. We understand that when you get hurt in Somerset, you need a lawyer who can stand up to the big insurance companies that try to treat you like just another claim number.

Handling Somerset’s Specific Dangers

We investigate accidents in the specific zones where Pulaski County drivers are most at risk:

• "The Strip" (US-27): The most congested stretch of road in the region. Constant stop-and-go traffic leads to frequent rear-end collisions and multi-car pileups.

• The Cumberland Parkway: High-speed rollovers and semi-truck accidents occur frequently on this major artery connecting to I-75.

• KY-80 Bypass: A hotspot for collisions involving heavy logging trucks and industrial vehicles bypassing the city center.

• Lake Traffic (Burnside/Bronston): Wrecks involving vehicles towing boats, often caused by out-of-town drivers who are unfamiliar with our narrow, winding roads.

We Don’t Just Take Car Wrecks

Our Somerset personal injury practice covers every type of negligence:

• Slip and Falls: Somerset is a retail hub. We fight for victims injured at big-box stores, restaurants, and hotels where safety protocols were ignored.

• Boating & Water Accidents: If you were injured on Lake Cumberland due to a reckless operator, we know maritime and state safety laws.

• Commercial Truck Accidents: Holding trucking companies accountable when they rush deliveries to the industrial parks in Science Hill or Ferguson.

• Medical Malpractice: Seeking justice for errors at Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital or local surgery centers.

We Know the Pulaski Circuit Court

Somerset has one of the busiest court dockets in the state. You cannot afford a lawyer who is "learning on the job." We regularly file lawsuits in the Pulaski Circuit Court. We know the judges, the opposing counsel, and the local procedures. We prepare every case as if it is going to trial, which is the only way to force fair settlements in a jurisdiction this size.
