No one can predict when a Kentucky car accident will happen, so it's comforting to know what are considered to be the safest cars in the event you are involved in one. A Louisville accident attorney is available to help if you or a loved one was injured by someone else's negligence. To be considered as a top safety pick, vehicles must get good ratings on 3 crash tests.
