In Kentucky, you can file a truck accident lawsuit even if you share some of the fault for the crash. Kentucky follows the pure comparative negligence rule in accident cases, which states that an injured claimant can recover compensation even if they share responsibility for causing their injuries.
However, the rule requires a jury or judge not just to assign each responsible party a percentage of fault. The court then reduces the claimant’s award for their losses in proportion to their percentage of fault. For example, if you would have been awarded $100,000 but were found to be 20% to blame, your final award would be $80,000. Our Kentucky truck accident attorneys will work to minimize your share of fault and maximize your potential recovery.
