Local Context for Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in Louisville
Deadlines, venue, insurers, and medical documentation all play differently in Louisville. This page pulls together the local context that matters before you speak with a motorcycle accident lawyer.
Kentucky Auto Injury Law
In Kentucky, the limitation period for personal injury claims is 1 years from the date of injury (KRS § 413.140(1)(a)). Missing this deadline typically bars your claim permanently.
Wrongful death claims must be filed within 1 years under KRS § 413.140(1)(a).
Kentucky follows a pure comparative fault rule. You can recover damages even if you are 99% at fault, but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Kentucky is a no-fault auto insurance state. After an accident, you first file a claim with your own insurer regardless of who caused the accident. You can sue the at-fault driver only if injuries meet a severity threshold.
Kentucky minimum auto insurance: $25,000/$50,000 bodily injury, $25,000 property damage.
