Truck Wrecks Attorneys In Lexington
Any motor vehicle accident can have serious consequences, but when a crash involves a truck, the resulting property damage and injuries can be even more severe. While large cars and sports utility vehicles (SUVs), may weigh four or five thousand pounds, a loaded 18-wheeler or semi truck often weighs up to 80,000 pounds, creating a disparity that puts other drivers on the road in greater danger during an accident.
At O’Brien Batten Kirtley & Coomer, PLLC, we serve as dedicated advocates for individuals who have been seriously hurt in a truck wreck, helping them secure full and fair compensation for their injuries. Our firm has built a reputation for success in settlement negotiations and in the courtroom on tractor-trailer injury cases, while also giving clients the time and attention they deserve.

Where Are Truck Accidents Most Common In Kentucky?
A truck wreck can happen on any of the roads in Kentucky. From small backroads to busy city intersections there is no one place that is least likely to be the site of a truck accident. However, the most serious of accidents happen on Kentucky’s highways, such as:
- Kentucky Highway 11
- I 75
- Highway 914
- The Western Kentucky Parkway
- Highway 27
Highways are unforgiving for any lapse of judgement or error and we’ve seen many clients suffer long-lasting painful injuries as a result.
