Florence KY Car Accident Lawyer
I-75, the Brent Spence Corridor, and Northern Kentucky’s heaviest freight routes — Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers handles crash claims for Florence and Boone County residents from our team, which serves clients statewide.
Florence sits at the convergence of I-75 and I-71 in Boone County — one of the highest-volume freight corridors in the entire country. The Brent Spence Bridge alone carries roughly 160,000 vehicles per day and ranks as the 8th worst truck bottleneck in the United States. When crashes happen on these roads — and they happen constantly — the injuries are serious, the insurance companies are aggressive, and the evidence disappears fast. Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers represents Florence and Boone County crash victims from our team, which serves clients statewide.
Why Florence Roads Produce Serious Crashes
Florence is Northern Kentucky’s commercial hub. I-75 funnels freight from Cincinnati south through Boone County, while I-71 splits off south. Add in the Amazon distribution center on Industrial Road (moving 50+ trucks every 25 minutes), the DHL Americas hub at CVG Airport, and the Mazak manufacturing corridor — and you have a road network under constant heavy-vehicle pressure. According to KYTC traffic data, Jefferson and Boone Counties consistently rank among Kentucky’s highest-crash counties.

Florence’s Most Dangerous Crash Locations
These corridors produce the highest crash concentrations in Boone County:
- I-75 Exits 180–182 — High-speed merges and exits combined with constant truck traffic create rear-end and sideswipe risks every hour of the day.
- US-42 (Dixie Highway) at KY-18 (Burlington Pike) — A four-way commercial intersection handling heavy cut-through traffic and delivery vehicles.
- US-42 at Beaver Road — Recorded 24 crashes over five years with two fatalities; a documented high-injury intersection.
- Mall Road corridor — Florence Mall and surrounding retail generate constant pedestrian and turning-vehicle conflicts.
- Industrial Road near CVG — Amazon, DHL, and UPS trucks entering and exiting at shift changes create dangerous merge conditions.
Construction Zone Crashes: The Brent Spence Corridor Project
The $3.6 billion Brent Spence Bridge Corridor Project began major construction phases in 2026 and will reshape I-75/I-71 through Boone County for years. NHTSA data shows work zone crashes spike during active construction periods. Drivers distracted by lane shifts, narrowed shoulders, and equipment movements face dramatically higher crash risk — and construction zone crashes often involve multiple liable parties: the at-fault driver, the general contractor, and state transportation agencies if signage or barriers were inadequate.
Who Pays After a Florence Construction Zone Crash?
Liability in work zone crashes can extend beyond the at-fault driver:
- The driver who caused the crash (standard negligence)
- The construction contractor if inadequate signage, barriers, or lane markings contributed
- KYTC or ODOT if government design or maintenance failures played a role
- Trucking companies whose drivers cause construction-zone crashes (under FMCSA regulations)
Our team investigates every angle — not just the obvious one.
Truck Accident Claims in Florence and Boone County
Florence sits on one of the busiest commercial freight corridors in the eastern United States. When a tractor-trailer, Amazon delivery vehicle, or commercial van causes a crash here, the claims process is far more complex than a standard car accident. Trucking companies deploy incident response teams within hours. Their goal: minimize the evidence and minimize the payout. Our team moves just as fast.
Federal trucking regulations under FMCSA 49 CFR require commercial carriers to maintain driver logs, inspection records, and black box data — but those records can be overwritten in as little as 30 days. We send preservation letters immediately and pursue every available data source: ELD logs, dashcam footage, maintenance records, and driver qualification files. For more on how we build these cases, see our page on trucking evidence collection.
Truck accident insurance policies in Kentucky carry minimum coverage of $750,000 under FMCSA financial responsibility rules — and many carriers carry $1 million or more. Getting full access to those limits requires knowing exactly how to build a claim that justifies them.
Boone County Court and Claims Process
Injury lawsuits from Florence crashes are filed in Boone County Circuit Court in Burlington, approximately 8 miles from downtown Florence. The court handles both personal injury cases and wrongful death actions under Kentucky’s civil rules. Most crash claims are resolved before trial through insurance negotiations — but when an insurer refuses to pay what a case is worth, we take it to court. Insurance companies know our track record: 40+ Seven-Figure Results Since 2020.
Under KRS 304.39-020, Kentucky’s PIP system provides up to $10,000 in initial medical and wage coverage from your own insurer. Once injuries meet the tort threshold — medical expenses over $1,000, a fracture, permanent injury, or death — you can pursue full damages from the at-fault driver. Most serious crashes in Florence clear that threshold immediately. See our page on Kentucky car accident compensation for the full picture of what you can recover.

Frequently Asked Questions — Florence KY Accident Claims
Do I need to come to our offices for meetings?
No. We handle Florence and Boone County cases remotely for most day-to-day matters. Our team communicates by phone, email, and video. If in-person meetings are needed, we can arrange them — but most clients in Northern Kentucky never need to make the drive to our team.
Which court handles Florence car accident lawsuits?
Boone County Circuit Court in Burlington, KY handles personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits arising from crashes in Florence. Federal court may be appropriate when the defendant is an out-of-state trucking company. Our team knows both venues and files in whichever court gives your case the strongest position.
How much insurance do Amazon and FedEx trucks carry?
Under FMCSA regulations, commercial carriers operating in interstate commerce must carry a minimum of $750,000 in liability insurance. Many large carriers like Amazon Logistics and FedEx carry $1 million or more. Getting access to those limits requires building a complete claim — not just accepting what the carrier’s adjuster offers.
Can I sue for construction zone crash injuries on I-75?
Yes. Construction zone crashes can involve the at-fault driver, the general contractor (if barriers or signage were inadequate), and in some cases state transportation agencies. Kentucky has specific rules for claims against government entities — including notice requirements. Contact us as quickly as possible so we can identify every responsible party before evidence disappears.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Kentucky?
For personal injury claims in Kentucky, you generally have two years from the date of the crash or the date of the last PIP payment, whichever is later. Wrongful death claims must be filed within one year. Missing these deadlines permanently bars your claim.
