Kentucky’s No-Fault Insurance & Accidents

Kentucky is a “choice no-fault” auto insurance state.

This means that when you are in an accident in Kentucky, your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage initially pays for your medical expenses, lost wages, and other out-of-pocket costs, regardless of who caused the accident.

It’s important to note that if you have not filed a form with the Department of Insurance rejecting the no-fault system, you are deemed to have accepted it.

However, Kentucky’s no-fault system doesn’t always preclude you from pursuing a claim against the at-fault driver.

If your medical expenses exceed $1,000, or your injuries are severe (such as a fracture, permanent disfigurement, or permanent injury), you can step outside the no-fault system and file a claim against the negligent party.

A skilled Kentucky car accident attorney, like those at Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers, can help you determine if your case meets this threshold.


Understanding Liability & Your Rights

Being involved in a car accident in Kentucky can be a traumatic experience.

On top of dealing with injuries and vehicle damage, you may also face a confusing legal landscape.

Understanding liability – who is legally responsible for the accident in Kentucky – is crucial to recovering compensation for your losses.

This is where an experienced personal injury lawyer in Kentucky can make all the difference.


Proving Fault

Even if you’re partly to blame for an accident in Kentucky, you may still be entitled to compensation. Kentucky follows a “pure comparative negligence” rule (Kentucky Revised Statutes section 411.182).

This means your percentage of fault will reduce your compensation.

A seasoned car accident lawyer in Louisville can analyze these facts to prove fault.

Example 

If you were found to be 20% at fault for the accident in Kentucky, and your total damages were $100,000, you could still recover $80,000 from the other party.

Determining fault can be complex.

An experienced personal injury lawyer in Kentucky will investigate the accident, gather evidence (police reports, witness statements, photos, etc.), and build a strong case to maximize your compensation.


Who Can Be Held Liable?

Several parties might be responsible for your Kentucky car accident. A thorough investigation by a personal injury lawyer in Kentucky can identify all potentially liable parties, including:

Other Driver

Distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, and other negligent behaviors can make a driver liable for an accident in Kentucky.

Trucking Companies

If a commercial truck driver caused your accident in Kentucky, their employer may also be held liable, especially in cases of negligent hiring or inadequate training. 

Vehicle Manufacturers

Defective car parts, like faulty brakes or airbags, can cause serious accidents. In such cases, the manufacturer may be liable.

Government Agencies

If poor road conditions, like potholes or malfunctioning traffic signals, contributed to your accident in Kentucky, the responsible government entity may be held accountable.

Dram Shop Laws

If the accident in Kentucky is caused by a drunk driver and the driver was served alcohol while they were obviously intoxicated, the bar/restaurant may be held responsible.


Common Injuries We Work With

I am extremely grateful for the love and kindness they show to the community. Having multiple billboards with messages of positivity and reminding thousands of individuals of their worth and that they can make it through is a wonderful way to bring about daily moments of positive affirmations to so many people and can make a huge difference in someone's day.
