Why Choose the Louisville Injury Law Firm?
At Louisville Injury Law Firm, we represent individuals and families in Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio whose lives have been turned upside down after an accident.
When you work with us, you get a lawyer who doesn’t just know the law but who has set foot in the courtroom time and time again. Our founding attorney, Gregory Crutcher, has successfully built, tried, and settled countless legal cases, both as a personal injury lawyer and as a former prosecutor in one of Indiana’s highest-volume courts. That kind of experience means that no matter how tough your case gets, you can count on us to keep fighting.
But legal experience is just half of the story. What truly sets us apart is how deeply we care about those we represent.
Our founder grew up in Louisville’s Portland neighborhood, where his father worked for decades at the Ford truck plant. That upbringing gives us a real understanding of what working families face and what a serious injury or legal battle can mean for your future. We are genuinely invested in your recovery because we know what’s at stake, and because you’re not just a client, you’re a neighbor.
We believe everyone should have access to strong legal help, which is why we offer free case evaluations 24/7 and work on a contingency fee basis. You don’t pay unless we win.
Our Practice Areas
- Car Accidents: Car accidents in Kentucky often happen because of speeding, distracted driving, DUI, or other reckless behavior. We help victims hold negligent drivers accountable and secure the compensation they need to recover.
- Semi-Truck Accidents: Truck accident cases are complex due to multiple liable parties and the severe damage these big rigs can cause. We understand the nuances of these cases and are prepared to pursue full compensation for catastrophic injuries.
- Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcyclists face unique risks on the road, and unfortunately, they are sometimes unfairly blamed for crashes. We stand up for riders’ rights and work hard to overcome biases to secure fair settlements.
- Dog Bites: Dog bites can cause painful injuries and lasting emotional trauma. We assist victims in pursuing claims against negligent pet owners and hold them responsible for their pets’ attacks.
- Workers’ Compensation: If you’re injured on the job in Kentucky, workers’ compensation benefits can often help cover medical expenses and lost wages. We can guide you through the claims process to ensure you receive the benefits you’re entitled to.
- Premises Liability: Property owners are required to maintain safe conditions. When they fail to do so, and this failure leads to slip and falls and other types of accidents, we help victims seek fair compensation for their losses.
- Product Liability: Defective or dangerous products, from electrical appliances to food, can cause serious injuries. We hold manufacturers, distributors, and sellers accountable when faulty goods lead to harm.
- Wrongful Death: Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is devastating. In these cases, we provide compassionate support for families, helping them pursue wrongful death claims to obtain compensation for medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, and other damages.
- Nursing Home Abuse: Abuse or neglect in nursing homes is unacceptable and often hidden. Our attorneys advocate fiercely for vulnerable residents to protect their safety and dignity.
Areas We Serve
- St. Matthews: St. Matthews is one of Louisville’s busiest suburbs, with retail hubs like Mall St. Matthews and Oxmoor drawing dense traffic and foot traffic along Shelbyville Road. That combination of vehicles and pedestrians often leads to both car collisions and slip‑and‑fall incidents in parking lots. The area is also a hub for dog‑friendly neighborhoods and green spaces and occasionally sees dog bite or leash‑related injury cases.
- Jeffersontown: Jeffersontown mixes residential communities with industrial parks and commercial corridors around Taylorsville Road and I‑64. Crowded intersections and commuter traffic in this area bring a high risk of both motor vehicle and pedestrian accidents. And with light industry and warehouses nearby, workplace injuries are also a regular concern.
- Middletown: Middletown is a growing suburb centered around I‑265, with plenty of new subdivisions, shopping centers, and busier streets. That mix tends to lead to more parking lot injuries and pedestrian incidents in retail areas. And with a family-oriented population, occasional dog bite cases come up too.
- Elizabethtown: Elizabethtown is home to a number of manufacturing plants, where workplace safety is a pressing concern. The city’s location along I‑65 also makes it prone to semi-truck and other types of motor vehicle crashes. At the same time, the area’s many shopping and dining spaces can carry the risk of premises liability accidents.
- Bardstown: Bardstown is a popular tourist destination combining downtown streets, scenic backroads, and bourbon distilleries. Unfortunately, this popularity means that it sees its fair share of auto accidents each year, both within the city center and on its rural routes. The distilleries also bring workplace hazards, while slip and falls can easily occur for those visiting the city’s older commercial buildings.
- Springhurst: Springhurst offers a mix of residential areas, retail strips, and senior housing. It’s common to see slip-and-fall cases in parking lots or near malls, while the presence of assisted living facilities means nursing home abuse or neglect claims occasionally surface. Commercial deliveries and local traffic also contribute to routine fender benders and pedestrian hazards.
- Sellersburg: Just across the Ohio River, Sellersburg sits alongside I‑65 and State Road 60: major arteries for regional and freight traffic. Sadly, this infrastructure has led to fatal crashes involving semi‑trucks, including rear-end and rollover accidents off on‑ramps and along the highway shoulders Those same roads bring commuter collisions and the usual car wrecks in work zones.
- Shively: Shively is a dense, working-class suburb lined with older storefronts along Dixie Highway and quiet residential streets. Accidents in the area are often tied to aging infrastructure, such as trip and fall claims in older buildings, as well as vehicle collisions and occasional dog-bites in tightly packed neighborhoods.
- Shelbyville: Shelbyville combines small-town charm with growing commercial zones along U.S. 60 and surrounding rural roads. Residents may face risks from highway wrecks and semi-truck incidents while commuting to Louisville, while local agricultural and manufacturing employers bring workplace injury concerns. The mix of older sidewalks and new retail stores also leads to premises liability claims.
- La Grange: La Grange is a small town bisected by an active railroad track running right down Main Street, a setup that has led to close calls involving cars and trucks clipping trains at crossings or while navigating around stationary rails. Beyond rail risks, visitors and residents may encounter slip-and-fall hazards in the storefronts and sidewalks of its historic downtown.
- Lyndon: Lyndon is a suburban mix of neighborhood streets and commercial strips centered around Hurstbourne Avenue and local shopping centers. Congested crosswalks and complex parking lots bring the risk of fender benders and pedestrian trip and fall incidents.
