Common Injuries From Car Wrecks In Kentucky
Last updated on June 11, 2025
Under Kentucky law, injury victims may be entitled to compensation for general damages caused by another driver’s negligence. But understanding your rights and the true extent of your injuries takes more than a quick online search. It requires a legal team that knows what is at stake and how to fight for what is right.
At Hicks & Funfsinn, PLLC, we bring over 60 years of combined legal experience to every case we handle throughout central Kentucky. Our attorney team includes former insurance defense counsel who now dedicate their careers to helping injured victims secure the compensation they deserve. You will not be passed off to a case manager; instead, you will work one-on-one with an honest lawyer who lives in your community and cares about your outcome.
What Are The Most Common Injuries From Car Accidents?
These are some of the most reported injuries we see in Kentucky car wreck claims:
- Whiplash and neck injuries: Often caused by sudden jolts, and can lead to chronic pain and limited mobility.
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI): Concussions and other head injuries may seem mild but often come with lasting cognitive effects.
- Broken bones and fractures: Legs, ribs, wrists and facial bones are commonly fractured during collisions.
- Soft tissue injuries: Damage to muscles, ligaments and tendons may not show up on scans but still disrupt everyday life.
Even if the injury seems manageable, do not downplay it. Car accident injuries often evolve and without proper documentation, it becomes harder to secure the compensation you deserve. A trusted Kentucky attorney from Hicks & Funfsinn can help you avoid those costly mistakes.
