Can I File a Lawsuit for Personal Injury in Kentucky?

Some accidents are unavoidable, and not every accident involves negligence. But, if you suspect your injuries were caused by someone else’s carelessness, recklessness, or poor decision-making, then you may be owed compensation.

Kentucky personal injury law requires you to prove the following when pursuing compensation:

Duty: Duty in a personal injury claim refers to the responsibility you were owed by the defendant (the negligent party). For instance, if you were walking through a restaurant, the restaurant owner has a responsibility to ensure all public spaces are safe. If the floor was slick, then the restaurant would also have a duty to warn customers with appropriate signage.
Breach of Duty: After establishing the duty, you must prove that the defendant breached their duty. Using the restaurant example above, a breach of duty would include failing to warn customers with signage if the floor was slippery or unsafe.
Causation: Next, you must prove causation. Causation means that the defendant’s breach of duty caused your injury. For a slip-and-fall case, you would have to prove that the defendant’s negligence caused you to fall.
Damages: Proving that the defendant was negligent is not enough to recover compensation in a personal injury case. You must also show that your life was negatively impacted by the accident and the injuries you suffered. You could be eligible for compensation in the form of damages for your medical expenses, lost wages, and other losses. You could also be able to claim compensation for pain, suffering, and emotional distress.

– Johnny P. (Dan Scott's Client) Review on Google 05/02/2021

Hello, Mr. Collins. I know you may not hear from your clients after a few years have passed, but I just wanted to take a second to say thank you for all you did for me during the time you represented me. It’s been three years since my case was settled…I really don’t know if you remember me or not. My sister left a vehicle out of gear, and it came back and almost tore my leg oﬀ. During the time you were working on the case, I lost my dad, and that is still aﬀecting me, but time makes things easier to deal with.

– Jeffery B.

Alison Sparks is beyond phenomenal. She is like family to us and has been since day 1!! We have never had to question any action she’s made or wonder the status of our case. She is the best out there!

Do I Have Legal Rights to Personal Injury Compensation?

In the state of Kentucky, victims harmed due to negligence are entitled to personal injury compensation. The state recognizes two types of damages: economic and non-economic.

Since every case has unique facts, there is not a set dollar amount for personal injury compensation. Every personal injury lawsuit is handled on a case-by-case basis. When determining your total compensation, the following will be considered:

Economic Damages: Did you incur out-of-pocket medical expenses due to your injuries? Did you lose income because you had to take time off work? Do you have permanent disabilities that will require ongoing medical treatment. These are examples of economic damages that you may seek compensation for in a personal injury lawsuit. Other examples include:
- Hospitalization costs
- Ambulance fees
- Rehabilitation and occupational therapy
- Home nursing and other specialized health services
- Wheelchairs, crutches, and medical equipment needed for your injuries
- Home modifications, if your injuries require you to install wheelchair ramps, lifts, or other modifications to assist with mobility in your home
Non-Economic Damages: Major injuries can cause psychological suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. Damages for pain and suffering and emotional anguish can be an important part of your total compensation. For example, you may claim compensation for:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of consortium

When pursuing personal injury compensation, it’s essential to be aware of the deadlines for filing a lawsuit. The deadline is called the statute of limitations.

Kentucky’s statute of limitations is one year from the date of injury. If you’re filing a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of a loved one, then you must file within one year from the date of injury that caused death.

That said, some circumstances may affect these deadlines. If you weren’t aware that your injuries were caused by negligence until later, then you may be given additional time to file a claim based on when you discovered the negligence.

It’s best to consult with a Princeton injury attorney to determine the deadlines that apply to your case. The Kentucky personal injury attorneys of Morgan, Collins, Yeast & Salyer can evaluate your case and advocate for your legal rights. To learn more, schedule a free consultation by calling (877) 809-5352 today.
