Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a car accident lawsuit in Independence Kentucky?
Kentucky law gives you one year from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is called the statute of limitations. If you miss this deadline you may lose your right to seek compensation.
How does Kentucky no-fault insurance affect my car accident claim?
Kentucky is a no-fault state meaning your own insurance pays for your medical bills and lost wages up to a limit regardless of who caused the crash. You can only sue the at-fault driver if your medical expenses exceed a certain threshold or if you have a permanent injury.
What damages can I recover in a car accident case in Kentucky?
You can recover economic damages like medical expenses and lost wages. You may also recover non-economic damages for pain and suffering if your case meets the serious injury threshold. Punitive damages are possible in cases of gross negligence.
