Six People Were Killed On KY Roads Last Week
Six people died on Kentucky roadways last week in motor vehicle accidents. In three of those crashes, the victims were not wearing seatbelts. One of the accidents involved a double fatality, which occurred in McCracken County. The other fatal accidents occurred in Bell County, Daviess County, Jefferson County, and Pendleton County.
While not wearing one’s seatbelt can decrease the amount the deceased’s family may recovery financially from the accident, it does not bar the Estate from being compensated from the family member’s loss of life.

Auto accident & wrongful death attorney Brent Ackerson, who handles case that involve car crash deaths, stated: “Anytime a family loses a loved one in a car crash, they need to be aware of the lost of earnings that person would have contributed to the family over the years they should have lived. The Estate can seek to recover lost lifetime wages and earning potential which can easily be over a million dollars.”
