Harlan County Kentucky Crash Leaves At Least One Dead

On November 8, 2022, there was a deadly auto accident in Harlan County, Kentucky and early reports are that at least one person died in this accident. The accident occurred on Highway 522 in the Putney community and the state police are investigating. Currently, almost 700 people have died as a result of motor vehicle accidents in Kentucky in 2022. A grim reminder that we should never take for granted the use of an automobile and give our complete attention to operating the vehicle in a safe manner.

These circumstances will require the services of an experienced attorney to investigate and locate all available evidence to determine liability and to maximize all benefits available to the victims’ family in this auto accident. Matthew Troutman, auto accident lawyer, of the Troutman Law Office has been handling auto accident claims, almost exclusively, since 1986 and has the experience and talent to obtain the best result for the victims in the above car accident. The estate of the one confirmed dead will have a significant wrongful death claim if they are not at fault in the accident. It is very likely that the at fault driver will not have enough insurance to fully compensate the victim’s estate, and, therefore, it will be important for there to be underinsured motorist benefits available.
