In most cases, Kentucky law requires a personal injury lawsuit to be filed within one year from the date of injury.
Car accident claims may also involve Kentucky’s no-fault insurance framework, which can affect how deadlines are calculated depending on PIP payments and benefit timelines.
Because filing deadlines can vary depending on the type of claim and insurance payments made, speaking with a Kentucky personal injury lawyer early can help ensure your rights are preserved.
Yes. Kentucky follows a no-fault insurance system. Under this system, your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage typically pays initial medical expenses and certain lost wages regardless of who caused the accident.
However, Kentucky law allows injured individuals to step outside the no-fault system and pursue a liability claim if statutory injury thresholds are met. Understanding whether your case qualifies can significantly impact potential recovery.
Kentucky follows a pure comparative fault rule. This means compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you are not automatically barred from recovery even if you are partially responsible.
In practice, insurers often analyze and argue percentages of responsibility. Careful documentation of liability and damages is important when fault is disputed.
Depending on the facts of the case, compensation may include:
The structure of recovery in car accident cases may be influenced by Kentucky’s no-fault statute.
A thorough review of medical records, wage documentation, and liability evidence is typically required to evaluate the full scope of damages.
Most workplace injuries are handled through Kentucky’s workers’ compensation system.
Workers’ compensation provides medical benefits and partial wage replacement regardless of fault.
In some situations, a separate third-party claim may be possible if someone other than the employer contributed to the injury. Evaluating both workers’ compensation and potential civil claims requires a careful review of accident facts, employment status, and available insurance coverage.
