Frequently asked questions

Who can be held liable for an auto collision?

Liability can extend to drivers, vehicle owners, employers (in cases involving commercial vehicles), and manufacturers (if a vehicle defect contributed to the accident).

In Kentucky, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims resulting from auto collisions is typically two years from the date of the accident or the last no-fault medical payment.

Missing the filing deadline may result in losing your right to pursue compensation. It’s crucial to consult an attorney promptly to protect your claim.

Compensation varies based on factors such as medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and the extent of your injuries.

Seek medical attention, report the accident to law enforcement, document the scene, gather witness information, and consult an experienced attorney to discuss your legal options.
