What To Do After a Serious Highway Crash in Kentucky (General Info)
1) Get medical care right away. Even if you feel okay, some injuries show up later.
2) Document the scene. Photos/video of vehicle positions, damage, debris, skid marks, lane lines, and any shoulder activity help preserve facts.
3) Capture identifiers. If a truck is present, note the carrier name and USDOT number on the tractor/trailer, license plates, witness names, and responding agencies.
4) Preserve evidence. Save dash-cam files, phone/location data, and keep damaged items until you’ve photographed them. Don’t authorize repairs or disposal before you have copies.
5) Be careful with insurers. Provide basics only until you understand your rights; consider holding off on recorded statements if you’re unsure.

FAQs
Does a center-line crossing automatically prove negligence?
No. Investigators consider driver condition, roadway environment, mechanical factors, and third-party contributions before assigning fault.
What if I’m partly at fault?
Kentucky’s comparative-fault rules may still allow recovery, reduced by your share of responsibility.
How soon do I need to act?
Deadlines can be short. Ask about statutes of limitation and notice requirements that could apply to your situation.
Should I give the other insurer a recorded statement?
Share the basics only until you understand your rights. Consider getting guidance before recording any statement.
