With offices in Louisville (1900 Plantside Dr) and Lexington (620 W Main St), our team is positioned to serve crash victims statewide. Under KRS 304.39-060, Kentucky’s no-fault system gives injured drivers access to full tort compensation once the threshold is met.

Kentucky’s 2024 Traffic Crash field

The 2024 Kentucky State Police Traffic Collision Facts report shows a state that continues to struggle with road safety despite improvements in vehicle technology. Key statewide figures:

Jefferson County (Louisville) leads all counties in total crash volume. Fayette County (Lexington) ranks second. But serious crashes happen in every county , including rural counties where crash severity is often higher due to speed and distance from trauma care. When a crash happens far from a major city, having a firm with the resources to investigate and litigate anywhere in Kentucky matters.

Kentucky’s No-Fault System , Statewide Application

Every Kentucky driver , regardless of county , operates under the same legal framework. Kentucky is a choice no-fault state under KRS 304.39-020. PIP coverage (up to $10,000) pays for your initial medical bills and lost wages from your own insurer, regardless of fault. Once your injuries clear the tort threshold under KRS 304.39-060 , $1,000 in medical expenses, a fracture, permanent injury, or death , you can step outside no-fault and pursue the full range of damages from the at-fault driver.

Under KRS 411.182‘s pure comparative fault rule, you can recover even if you share partial responsibility , your award is simply reduced by your fault percentage. Kentucky does not cap compensatory damages in personal injury cases.
