Campbellsville Personal Injury Attorney
Injured in an accident in Taylor County? Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers handles personal injury cases in Campbellsville and throughout south-central Kentucky — with the Louisville office about 85 miles away and real results that insurance companies know about.
Campbellsville is the county seat of Taylor County — a growing south-central Kentucky community at the junction of US-68, US-127, and KY-55. The area’s road network carries significant through-traffic between Elizabethtown, Columbia, and Danville, and Taylor County sees consistent crash activity on those corridors each year. Under KRS 304.39-060, Kentucky’s tort threshold lets crash victims pursue full compensation once injuries clear $1,000 in medical expenses or include a fracture or permanent injury. Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers handles personal injury and wrongful death cases in Campbellsville and throughout Taylor County.
Key Roads and Crash Areas in Taylor County
Campbellsville’s highway network connects south-central Kentucky in ways that generate consistent collision activity. The highest-risk corridors include:
- US-68 / Lebanon Avenue — the main east-west route through Campbellsville, with frequent rear-end and angle crashes at commercial intersections along the business strip.

Taylor Circuit Court — Where Cases Are Filed
Personal injury suits from Taylor County crashes are filed in Taylor Circuit Court at the Taylor County Courthouse, 203 North Court Street, Campbellsville, KY 42718. Taylor County is in Kentucky’s 50th Judicial Circuit. Our team handles filings in Taylor County and appears in south-central Kentucky courts regularly.
The Campbellsville University Factor
Campbellsville is home to Campbellsville University, a growing institution that adds pedestrian traffic, bike riders, and a significant young-driver population to local roads during the academic year. Pedestrian and cyclist crashes near campus — particularly on US-68 and University Drive — are a documented concern. If you were injured as a pedestrian or cyclist in the Campbellsville area, your claim may involve different evidence and liability considerations than a standard vehicle-on-vehicle crash.
Kentucky No-Fault Insurance — What It Means for You
Your own PIP coverage pays up to $10,000 first under KRS 304.39-020. Once you clear the tort threshold — $1,000 in medical expenses, a fracture, permanent injury, or death — you can pursue the at-fault driver for:
- All medical expenses, current and future
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life
- Vehicle damage and all other property losses
- Punitive damages when extreme negligence (DUI, reckless conduct) caused the crash
Don’t Accept the First Offer
Insurance adjusters in south-central Kentucky — like everywhere else — are trained to close claims quickly and cheaply. The first settlement offer almost never accounts for future medical costs, long-term wage loss, or pain and suffering. Once you accept and sign, the claim is closed forever. Before accepting anything, talk to our team — it costs you nothing.

Frequently Asked Questions — Campbellsville Injury Cases
Where are Taylor County personal injury lawsuits filed?
Taylor County personal injury suits are filed in Taylor Circuit Court at the Taylor County Courthouse, 203 North Court Street, Campbellsville, KY 42718 (50th Judicial Circuit).
Do I need to come to a Louisville or Lexington office for my case?
No. Initial case reviews are handled by phone in about 10 minutes — no appointment needed. Our team handles all filing and court appearances in Taylor County on your behalf. You don’t need to travel unless you want to meet in person.
How long do I have to file an injury claim in Kentucky?
For personal injury claims, you generally have two years from the date of the accident or the date of the last PIP payment. Wrongful death claims must be filed within one year under KRS 413.140. Missing these deadlines permanently bars your claim.
What if my injuries didn’t seem serious at first?
Soft tissue injuries, concussions, and internal trauma often take days or weeks to fully manifest. Don’t judge the severity of your injury by how you felt in the first 24 hours. Get medical attention and document everything. Waiting too long to see a doctor gives insurers an argument that your injuries weren’t caused by the crash.
