Motorcycle Injuries in Kentucky: What Families Should Know After a Crash


ree

Motorcycle season is in full swing across Kentucky, and while riding can be thrilling and efficient, it also comes with serious risks—especially when drivers aren’t paying attention.

At Mory & Colliersmith, PLLC, we represent motorcyclists and their families after devastating crashes. We understand how overwhelming these accidents can be, especially when medical bills, insurance disputes, and long recoveries come into play.


Here’s what every Kentucky family needs to know about motorcycle injuries and legal options after a crash.


Motorcycle Accidents Are Often Not the Rider’s Fault


In many cases, the motorcyclist is the victim of someone else’s negligence. Drivers often say, “I didn’t see them,” which is not a valid excuse when lives are at risk.


Common causes of motorcycle crashes include:

  • Distracted or texting drivers

  • Cars turning left without yielding

  • Lane changes without checking blind spots

  • Speeding or tailgating

  • Hazardous road conditions


When someone else’s mistake causes serious injury, you have the right to hold them accountable—and we’re here to help.


Common Motorcycle Crash Injuries


Motorcycle injuries can be life-altering. Without the protection of a car, riders are more exposed to:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) — even with a helmet

  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis

  • Broken bones and dislocations

  • Severe road rash or burns

  • Internal injuries


These injuries often require long-term treatment, physical therapy, and support. And the emotional toll on families—especially when the injured person is a parent—can be immense.


What To Do After a Motorcycle Crash in Kentucky

  1. Get medical attention immediately, even if you feel “okay.”

  2. Document the scene — take photos of the crash site, bike damage, and injuries.

  3. Gather witness info and exchange insurance details.

  4. Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company.

  5. Contact a motorcycle accident attorney who knows Kentucky law.
