How Kentucky's No-Fault Rules Affect Your Claim

Kentucky is a choice no-fault state. Unless you formally opted out, your own PIP coverage pays your first medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault, and you can only step outside the no-fault system to sue when your injuries meet Kentucky's threshold, such as more than $1,000 in medical expenses, a broken bone, or permanent injury. Insurance companies count on people not understanding this. We do, and we make sure the at-fault driver's insurer does not hide behind it.

What to Do After a Kentucky Crash

  1. Get checked by a doctor right away, PIP benefits cover your initial treatment.
  2. Report the crash to police.
  3. Photograph vehicles, the scene, and your injuries.
  4. Open your PIP claim, but do not sign anything from the other driver's insurer.
  5. Call a Kentucky car accident lawyer. Free consultation, no fee unless we recover.

Your Time to File Is Limited

You generally have two years to file. That clock usually starts on the date of the crash, but if you received PIP (no-fault) benefits, it can start from your last PIP payment instead. Waiting costs evidence and leverage.
