St. Matthews Car Accident Lawyers
Over $100 Million Recovered for Our Clients. No Fees Until You Get Paid.
The Busiest Square Mile in Kentucky.
St. Matthews is the retail heartbeat of Louisville. Between Mall St. Matthews, Oxmoor Center, and the endless strip malls on Shelbyville Road, traffic here is constant, aggressive, and distracted.
A crash in St. Matthews is rarely simple. You are dealing with drivers from out of town who don't know the lanes, distracted shoppers looking for parking, and the notorious "merge" onto the Watterson Expressway.
Crucially, St. Matthews is an independent city. Accidents here are often investigated by the St. Matthews Police Department, not Metro Louisville (LMPD). At Freeman Childers, we know how to work with the local officers to get the reports and evidence needed to win your case.
Danger Zones: Shelbyville Road & The Watterson
We investigate accidents in the specific corridors where St. Matthews drivers face the most risk:
Shelbyville Road (US-60): The 6-lane chaos between Cannons Lane and the Watterson is a hotspot for rear-end collisions and sideswipes.
The "Mall Merge": The confusing ramps where Shelbyville Road meets I-264 (The Watterson) cause high-speed wrecks daily as drivers fight for lane position.
Breckinridge Lane: Heavy congestion near the hospital and Dutchmans Lane leads to frequent T-bone accidents at intersections.
Parking Lot Injuries: High-speed cut-throughs in the massive lots of Mall St. Matthews and Oxmoor often lead to serious pedestrian injuries and collisions.
Did the Police Write a Report?
In St. Matthews, if no one is taken to the hospital by ambulance, officers may not file a full collision report. They might tell you to "exchange info" and file a civilian report later. This is a trap. Without an official police report, the insurance company will try to deny liability.
We help you track down surveillance footage from nearby businesses (Target, Best Buy, etc.) to prove what happened.
We locate witnesses who saw the crash but didn't stay to talk to police.
Specialized Medical Recovery
St. Matthews is home to two of the region’s best hospitals: Baptist Health Louisville and Norton Women’s & Children’s. If you were treated at these facilities, we know how to obtain your medical records quickly to value your claim. Whether you suffered a whiplash injury on the Watterson or a fracture in a parking lot pedestrian accident, we ensure your future medical costs are covered.
