We Pay For DOTTraffic Camera Footage.

While other firms wait for a police report, critical evidence is often lost. The DOT camera system operates on a rolling window, meaning accident recordings can be overwritten before a typical lawyer even begins the request process.

Our firm takes a proactive approach:

  • Access to DOT and TriMarc camera footage, with archives reaching back six months.
  • Fast verification for accidents on I-75, I-64, US 60, US 127, New Circle, and other state-monitored routes.
  • Rapid preservation by pulling the specific cameras and time frames before footage is deleted.

We collect the footage, analyze it closely, and use it to build your case.

Frequently AskedQuestions

What does Kentucky basic PIP cover after a car crash?
Basic personal injury protection generally provides up to $10,000 per person for medical expenses, lost wages, replacement services, and similar out-of-pocket losses, regardless of fault. The policy covering the vehicle you occupied usually pays first. Kentucky’s Department of Insurance explains basic PIP coverage and payment priority.
Why can “full coverage” still leave me underinsured?
“Full coverage” does not identify one standard package or guarantee enough protection for a serious injury. Review the actual liability, uninsured-motorist, underinsured-motorist, and added PIP limits shown on the declarations page. Kentucky’s required-coverage notice lists the state minimum coverages.
What is underinsured motorist coverage?
Underinsured motorist coverage can apply when the responsible driver has insurance but not enough to cover the injury damages. Your available recovery depends on the policy language, limits, offsets, and any applicable stacking rules. Kentucky’s current motor-vehicle insurance statutes include the state’s underinsured-motorist provisions.
What is uninsured motorist coverage?
Uninsured motorist coverage can protect you when the responsible driver has no liability insurance or in certain hit-and-run situations covered by the policy. Kentucky requires UM coverage to be offered, although it may be rejected in writing. The Kentucky Department of Insurance summarizes the required offer.
Does Kentucky PIP apply the same way to motorcycles?
No. Basic PIP is optional for motorcycles. An operator or passenger generally cannot collect basic reparation benefits for a motorcycle injury unless that coverage was purchased for the motorcycle or injured person. See KRS 304.39-040.
Why are truck-accident cases different from ordinary car crashes?
Commercial-truck cases can involve electronic driving records, driver qualification files, maintenance records, federal hours-of-service requirements, and several potentially responsible businesses. FMCSA explains electronic logging records and the federal records used to review driving time.
What is an MCS-90 endorsement?
The MCS-90 is a federally required endorsement for many interstate motor carriers. In qualifying cases it can require an insurer to pay a final judgment up to the applicable federal minimum even when the policy would otherwise exclude coverage. It is a public-protection backstop, not additional insurance above the policy limit. FMCSA provides the current MCS-90 form and federal basis. FMCSA provides the current MCS-90 form and federal basis.
Is a Kentucky dog owner responsible even if the dog never showed aggression before?
Kentucky law makes an owner responsible when the owner’s dog causes damage to a person, livestock, or other property. The statute does not make prior aggression a condition of that owner-liability language. See KRS 258.235(4).
What is the Bigger Share Guarantee®?
