Two Louisville Men Hospitalized After Motorcycle Collision in Floyd County
WHAS 11 News is reporting that two men are in a Louisville hospital after they suffered critical head injuries in a motorcycle crash. The accident happened at about 5′30 p.m. Saturday at Seven Mile Road and State Highway 111 in Floyd County. Indiana State Police said a group of riders were heading toward Louisville, after a brief stop at the Horseshoe Casino, when one of the motorcycles rear-ended another.
In these types of cases there is potentially liability on the part of Horseshoe Casino if alcohol was a factor in the accident. This is something that an experienced attorney, such as those at Kentucky Lawyers, can help investigate and make a recovery if possible even by the individual who was drinking. All too often inexperienced attorneys overlook these potential sources of compensation for the injured or their families.
