Building a Truck Accident Case in Glasgow, Kentucky
Kentucky auto accident laws generally require injured motorists or passengers to first turn to their personal injury protection (PIP) policy for compensation to cover their medical bills, some of their lost wages, and other expenses. However, this limit could be as low as $10,000. When a tractor-trailer truck collides with a passenger vehicle, the injuries are often significant.
In many cases, victims of truck crashes need to pursue a liability-based claim or lawsuit to recover damages for the expenses and losses they incurred. The inadequate coverage provided by their PIP or no-fault policy will not make a dent in the significant medical bills and other costs.
This is where Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers can help. We develop these cases, investigate what happened, value the client’s losses, and take action against the liable parties. This generally requires us to:
- Determine what caused the crash
- Identify the roles of everyone involved
- Confirm the liable parties
- File insurance claims or a lawsuit to seek compensation
Truck accidents often bring up a common law doctrine known as respondeat superior. Today, this doctrine primarily applies when an employee acts negligently at work and causes others to suffer injuries. When that happens, this doctrine allows us to hold their employer vicariously liable. This frequently applies in truck accident cases because the trucker was doing their job-driving the truck and hauling cargo-when the accident occurred.
Trucking companies know this and often have sizeable corporate liability insurance policies. This can sometimes make it easier to negotiate a settlement despite our client’s significant injuries and expenses. In this way, holding the trucking company vicariously liable can pay off for our client.
We can settle most traffic accident cases through negotiations with the insurance company or companies. Therefore, we do not often have to sue and take these cases to trial. However, our in-house litigation team is ready to go when necessary. We develop strong arguments, back them with all available evidence, and prepare our clients for what to expect.

There Are Deadlines in Kentucky to Take Legal Action Against the At-Fault Party
There are strict time limits for suing the trucking company or another liable party after a collision in Glasgow. If you have not settled within two years of your crash, you may need to begin a lawsuit or lose the right to do so. If you filed a PIP claim, you may have up to two years from your final PIP payment.
This deadline is set byKy. Rev. Stat. § 304.39-230. Missing the deadline could cost you your right to sue. The court will likely bar a case filed after time expires. This would do significant harm to your claim because the ability to sue and take the case to trial provides crucial leverage against the insurance company and liable parties.
