⚖️ Kentucky Personal Injury Law Guide

If you were injured in Kentucky (in cities like Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, Owensboro), your claim is governed by local statutes and fault rules:

  • Statute of Limitations: You have 1 year from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim in court.
  • Shared Fault System: Kentucky uses the Pure Comparative Negligence standard. Kentucky follows pure comparative negligence. You can recover damages even if you were 99% at fault, though your payout will be reduced by 99%.
  • Damage Caps: The Kentucky Constitution strictly prohibits any caps on compensatory damages in personal injury or wrongful death cases. Damage caps on medical malpractice are barred by the state constitution.
