Motor Vehicle Accidents In Louisville, Kentucky
Every year, more than 7,000 people are injured in traffic-related incidents across our state. Accidents that involve commercial vehicles, like buses, are more likely to end with more severe injuries and a larger number of injured parties. In many cases, bus accident victims require both immediate and long-term medical treatment for their injuries. We place our health and safety in the hands of trained bus drivers and hope that they will bring us safely to our destinations. However, no one is out of harm’s way when it comes to the potential of suffering debilitating injuries in accidents.
In many cases, victims are required to undergo immediate medical attention for their injuries. Thousands of people have to spend time off work to recover and go through months of therapy for their injuries.
