It’s difficult to say. We certainly aren’t afraid of bringing your case to court if we think it’s your best chance at being awarded max compensation. But if negotiations with the insurer can get you an injury settlement that meets your needs, it’s possible to avoid going to court.

The Kentucky statute of limitations for personal injury claims is one of the shortest in the country. Injury survivors have just one year from the date of their injury to file a claim.
The statute of limitations will begin either the day you are injured or the day on which you discover your injury. It will expire one year later. In cases where children or infants are injured, the time limit will not expire until one year after they reach the age of 18. This deadline is critical. Your case will be dismissed if you try to file your claim after the time limit expires.

Kentucky is a comparative negligence state when it comes to shared fault. That means even if you are partly to blame for your accident, you can still file a claim against the party that’s primarily at fault. But be aware that any amount you are awarded will reflect a shared fault deduction.
For example, if you are found to be 10 percent to blame for the cause of your injuries and a jury awards you $100,000, you would actually receive $90,000 after your 10 percent comparative fault deduction.
