On February 12, in the snow and ice, and while crossing the Ledbetter Kentucky Bridge, Stephanie Stephanie Smith-Lester's life, and that of her unborn child changed forever.  According to an article published in Tuesday's Paducah Sun, Smith-Lester and her husband were involved in a two vehicle auto accident, that left Stephanie in a Coma.

The Kentucky Car Wreck happend as the eastbound Blazer driven by Aaron Tucker lost control striking the bridge and then eventually the Smith-Lester Ford Bronco being driven by her husband Shain.  According to the story, Shain swerved to avoid the Tucker vehicle but could not. 

The wreck left Smith-Lester in a Coma and she was taken to Vanderbilt Hosptial where she remains in critical condition.  She suffered a fractured pelvis, fractures to her brain and a crushed skull as well as a tear in the amniotic sac, which was leaking fluid. 

At first the Doctors had given littel chance for Smith-Lester's 13 week old fetus.  But now test show the fetus is doing well and without stress.  Smith-Lester remains in a coma but is showing movement in her hands and feet. 

It appears that the unborn fetus has drawn strength from the fight of its mother as it survives against incredible odds.  Our thoughts and prayers will remain with the family, Mrs. Smith-Lester and the baby.  We wish all a speedy recovery and we admire your strenth and your incredible courage.

Kentucky Motorcycle Accident Takes the Life of Dr. Jack Diles

Dr. Jack Diles of Symsonia Kentucky was killed over the weekend in a Kentucky Motorcycle Accident.  Dr. Diles had been practicing Internal Medicine in Western Kentucky for the last four decades. 

Dr. Diles used to be a neighbor of mine when I was growing up.  He was a nice man and an established Doctor.  His accidental death should be a warning sign to all of those that ride Motorcycles in Kentucky. 

In this case it appears that the other driver was at fault.  That means that it is possible to ride a motorcycle, obey all traffic signals and laws and still be hurt.  There is so much less protection for the driver of a motorcycle than one that is in a motor vehicle. 

I want to extend my deepest sympathies to the Family of Dr. Jack Diles.  God Bless you in this most difficult time.   

I know Dr. Diles will be missed by many patients, friends and family.

State of Kentucky Needs Something Similar to Illinois "Shibs Law"

Illinois and their Governor Rob Blagojevich just signed a new law affording additional protection to Emergency Responders while in the line of Duty.  The so called "Shibs Law" was names after a firefighter who was killed last July while responing to a call of a burning Semi Truck.  While trying to put out the fire he was struck by a Greyhound Bus and killed.

The new law allows firefighters and other such Emergency personel to close down a highway or interstate while responding to similar type calls.  Please read the article that I wrote dealing with this matter.  Leave me a comment and let me know if Kentucky could use a similar type law OR do we have to wait until tragedy strikes as was the case in Illinois. 

Read Kentucky.....Lets not Wait to Enact our Own Shibs Law.

Kentucky Hit and Run Suspects Do Not Face Felony Charges in Cases of Wrongful Death

One Kentucky Law is going to face increased scrutiny in the latest case of a Kentucky Hit and Run Wrongful Death.  Connie Blount was hit while crossing a downtown Lexington Street early Sunday Morning with a friend.  Police say that she was walking with the light when she was struck and killed by a Cheverolet Extendacab.  The driver of the Truck has not yet been identified or come forward.  Reports say that the driver of the Truck nearly misssed striking Blount's friend. 

Under Kentucky Law, this culpable driver, will not face a Felony Prosecution for leaving the scene of a Fatal Accident.  Something needs to be done.  Lawmakers in Frankfort as well as all Kentuckians will be outraged as soon as this is made public. 

A Memorial Service was held yesterday at the University of Kentucky in Lexington on behalf of Connie Blount.  Her Dad was on hand to thank all of those present and to increase awareness of this tragic event.  He also assisted Police in their search for the suspect who is still at-large. 

At DarylTDixonLaw.com, we will continue to blog about this story until the suspect is caught and we will follow up on any reaction by lawmakers and concerned Kentuckians. 

Again, if anyone reading this blog has any additional information about the accident or the at-large driver, they are urged to call Lexington-Fayette Count Police or the Unviersity of Kentucky Police Department.

Kentucky Wrongful Death Claim is Likely in the Case of Linda Stem

Linda Stem, 82, of Mayfield Kentucky was killed in a collision between a Church Van and a Suburban on Sunday Evening.  This Kentucky Wrongful Death Wreck happened as Stem was on her way to church. 

Stem was traveling in a Seven Oaks Church of Christ Van/Mini bus when the Suburban ran a red light and struck the van

The driver of the Suburban was cited for disregarding a traffic control signal but it is unclear if their will be additional charges brought by the Graves County Attorney. 

It is fairly clear that the Stem's family will have a Kentucky Wrongful Death Claim.
