- DUI/DWIFew acts are more negligent than driving after a night of alcohol consumption. Drunk drivers are not just putting their own well-being at risk; anyone driving near them could suffer life-changing injuries in a split second. In some cases, drunk driving accidents result in fatalities.
- Wrongful DeathSerious injury may be the result of any motor vehicle accident, but no other vehicle poses the high risk of severe injury or wrongful death posed by motorcycles. Motorcycles offer no protection, limited safety features, less stability, and an extremely small margin for error when reacting to potentially hazardous road conditions or the negligence of other drivers. Motorcyclists are exposed to extremely high risks of debilitating and life-altering injuries. Even the most competent, experienced, and skilled motorcyclist may be vulnerable to unsafe and dangerous driving practices by other motorists on the roadways of Kentucky.
- Traffic ViolationsLackadaisical safety standards: A trucking company has the final say in how freight is loaded onto trucks, and what routes trucks take to avoid the most traffic. When safety standards are set aside for profits, such as loading too much cargo into a trailer or encouraging speeding to make routes faster, the employer can take much of the blame.

- Workers CompensationAlthough workers compensation benefits will typically constitute the exclusive remedy against an employer for injuries incurred in a construction equipment accident, personal injury damages, which generally are more extensive, may be available if you are an independent contractor or the conduct of a third-party contributes to your injuries. Our experienced Lexington construction accident attorneys pursue personal injury claims against those whose careless or inattentive actions on a construction site cause serious injury or wrongful death.
- Premises LiabilityAt Goeing Goeing & McQuinn PLLC, our experienced Lexington premises liability attorneys understand that these serious accidents can result in severe debilitating injuries. The misconceptions about the benign nature of most falls often discourage victims who slip on a wet floor or trip over debris in a poorly lit aisle of a grocery store to delay seeking medical attention. If you are involved in any slip and fall while patronizing a Wal-Mart, Kroger or other business, you should immediately report the incident and seek medical attention even if the symptoms seem minor at the time of the accident.
- Property DamageWhenever you drive anywhere, whether you are driving in a rural area or in the city, you are likely to be sharing the road with one or more tractor-trailers. Because of their size and weight, semi-trucks must be driven by drivers who have been specially trained and licensed to drive them safely. State and federal laws also regulate the trucking industry and the activities of truck drivers, with the goal of making the roads safer for everyone. Most truck drivers take their work seriously; they obey the laws and drive safely. When truck drivers engage in behavior that compromises their ability to drive safely, accidents can occur which can cause serious injury, death, and large amounts of property damage.

- Medical MalpracticeA birth injury is perhaps one of the most devastating scenarios a family may face. Emotionally, it can be incredibly difficult to see a child suffer from a disability knowing that it could have been prevented. Financially, a birth injury can place severe strain on a family due to ongoing bills for medical care and continued care at home. An injured child may require years of surgeries, therapy, and long-term care that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars or more over the course of a lifetime. When an injury has been caused by a careless doctor, they may be guilty of medical malpractice and should be held responsible.
