Frequently Asked Kentucky Car Accident Questions (FAQs)

What Damages Can Be Recovered in a Kentucky Car Accident Lawsuit?

In Kentucky, as in many other states, individuals involved in car accidents may be eligible to recover various types of damages if they can demonstrate that another party was at fault for the car accident. Damages refer to the compensation awarded to the injured party to help cover losses and expenses resulting from the car accident. The specific damages that can be recovered in a Kentucky car accident lawsuit include:

• Medical Expenses: This includes compensation for past, current, and future medical bills related to injuries sustained in a car accident. It may cover hospital stays, surgeries, doctor visits, medication, rehabilitation, and other medical costs.
• Property Damage: This involves the repair or replacement costs for damaged vehicles. As well as, any other property affected in the car accident.
• Lost Wages: If the car accident causes the injured party to miss work, they may be entitled to compensation for the lost income during that time. This can also include future lost earning capacity if the injuries result in a long-term impact on the individual’s ability to work and earn money in the future.
• Pain and Suffering: Non-economic damages, such as physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish, may also be recoverable. These damages are more subjective and are not easily quantifiable. Our experienced Kentucky car accident lawyers can advise you about how these values are determined.
• Loss of Consortium: This refers to damages awarded to the spouse of the injured party for the loss of companionship, support, and services resulting from the injuries.
• Punitive Damages: In certain cases where the at-fault party’s actions were particularly egregious or reckless, punitive damages may be awarded. These are intended to punish the wrongdoer and deter others from similar conduct.

What Should I Do if I Was Injured in a Car Accident?

With our guidance, you’ll be in a position to make informed decisions at every step of the insurance claims process.

While we believe that one of the most important things you should do following a car accident is to call an experienced Kentucky car accident attorney, there are some other immediate concerns. It can be a confusing and chaotic time immediately following a car wreck. For this reason, we have put together a checklist of things we recommend you do:

Survey the scene for danger

First and foremost, after a car accident look around and make sure there are no ongoing dangers present or risks of further dangers. For example, be sure to extract yourself and your loved ones from the vehicle if you see any open flames. Be aware of traffic that may be arriving on the scene of the car accident. This is especially important for interstate highway accidents or car wrecks that occur beyond a hill or blind curve.

Assess Injuries

Briefly assess your injuries and avoid moving seriously injured car accident victims if it can be avoided.

Call 911

Call 911 from the scene of the car wreck. Try to calm yourself and answer the dispatcher’s questions as thoroughly and accurately as possible. The dispatchers are trained to ask questions concerning the status of the scene and the car wreck victims’ injuries so that first responders understand the situation awaiting them. This is important for serious injuries or life-threatening injuries where every minute counts.

Even if you are not experiencing life-threatening injuries, it is advisable to get a medical evaluation anyway. Many victims don’t realize the extent of their injuries because of adrenaline circulating in their system. If you are feeling dizzy, you could have a concussion or be suffering from some other health event. It is better to be safe than sorry. Be sure to ask the 911 dispatcher to send an ambulance. EMS personnel will evaluate you at the scene for injury even if you decline transport to the emergency room. Remember, car insurance provides coverage for initial medical bills which our experienced Kentucky car accident attorneys can help you with. Don’t refuse medical treatment because you worry about the cost.

Document the Car Accident

Use the camera on your phone. When possible, take pictures that show the entire scene, all involved vehicles, and surrounding landmarks. Try to take pictures of all the visual details of your car accident. Your photographs can be used to prove the other driver’s negligence even if the other driver is untruthful or incorrect about what occurred.

Gather Information

Gather as much information as possible. Ask to see the other driver’s license and insurance card. Use your smartphone to take pictures of the front and back of each. Be sure to make sure the information is readable in your photos. We also recommend that you take a picture of the at-fault driver’s license plate. Again, be sure to make sure the plate number and state of license are readable in the photo. In some car accidents, a witness or two may step forward to identify themselves. Ask them for their names and phone numbers. Again, use your smartphone to take notes of what they saw or add the witness as a phone contact. Let them know that you will reach out to them later. Be sure to thank them for stopping to check on you.

Request a copy of the police report

In jurisdictions that have reports immediately available be sure to ask for a copy before you leave the scene. Don’t be surprised if the report is not immediately available. In many situations, the responding officer will provide you with a card with the police agency name, report number, officer code number, and contact information. Be sure to ask the officer for this information prior to leaving the scene. You will want to share the information contained on that card with Stein Whatley Astorino, PLLC. Our experienced Kentucky car accident attorneys can get the police report for you if you are unable to get it.

We understand that some people may initially deny treatment at the scene of the car wreck because of family obligations (small children) or because they thought that their pain would go away with time. Even if you didn’t immediately go to the hospital, our experienced Kentucky car accident attorneys can still help you. Please be advised that time is of the essence. It is important that you take prompt action. We advise you to contact Stein Whatley Astorino, PLLC immediately to discuss your options. Our initial consultation is free.

What Should I Do if My Teenager is Injured in a Car Accident?

The car accident claim process is difficult for adults. It’s more difficult for teen drivers as they normally have very little experience with police.  Also, they can be very emotional following a car accident. If the at-fault driver is an adult, they can sometimes try to take advantage of the teen driver. They do this by hinting that it was their fault or outright gaslighting them. Their goal is to influence the responding officer’s investigation.

A teenage driver’s first call is often to their parents following a car accident. If you find yourself accepting that call, advise your child to stay calm.  Ask them where they are located, and have them call 911 upon hanging up with you. We recommend calling 911 to report the car accident as well to ensure it is reported in case your child is unable to complete the call themselves. Immediately meet them at the scene when possible. They will have more confidence discussing the facts and circumstances of the car accident with the officer in your presence. Moreover, you can ensure that your teenage driver gets the proper medical care for their personal injuries following a serious car accident.

Be sure to take a copy of your teen driver’s proof of insurance with you to the scene for the investigating officer’s benefit.  Also, check out our checklist of what to do if you are in a car accident.

Once you have attended to your teenage driver’s medical needs, call the experienced Kentucky car accident lawyers at Stein Whatley Astorino, PLLC to protect your child’s legal right to full and fair personal injury compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Filing a Claim After a Car Accident in Kentucky

Is There a time limit to file a car accident claim in Kentucky?

Under Kentucky’s statute of limitations for car accident claims, a person injured in a Kentucky car accident generally has two years to settle a car accident claim in Kentucky. While certain situations can extend the deadline, this means that you typically have two years from the date of the car accident to file a lawsuit in the Kentucky civil court system.

Please be advised that this is a strict deadline. If you miss it, you will be barred from filing a claim for compensation. This is so even if you suffered serious injuries that were someone else’s fault. You will be barred from filing a claim against the at-fault party if you miss that deadline. It won’t matter how seriously you were injured in the car accident. Kentucky takes a hard stance on this deadline. Act now! Contact the experienced Kentucky car accident lawyers at Stein Whatley Astorino, PLLC today, if you are worried about legal time limits.

Keep in mind, that even though you may have up to two years to file a claim, you should act as soon as possible. Memories fade and important evidence can disappear quickly. Promptly hiring our experienced Kentucky car accident lawyers will help give you the best chance of securing the full and fair financial recovery you deserve.

Should I talk with the other driver’s insurance company?

No. If you’ve been involved in a car accident, you generally have the option of communicating with the other driver’s insurance company, but you are not obligated to do so. We advise you not to communicate with the other driver’s insurance company beyond reporting the car accident. Let Matt Stein, John Whatley, Rob Astorino, and their experienced Kentucky car accident lawyers set up the claims for you. They will also handle communication with the other driver’s insurance to protect your legal interests.

Can I file an injury claim in Kentucky if the car accident was partially my fault?

Yes. Kentucky follows a “pure comparative fault” system when it comes to car accidents. In a pure comparative fault system, each party involved in the accident is assigned a percentage of fault based on their contribution to the cause of the car accident. You can generally still file a claim even if the accident was partially your fault.

It’s important to note that car insurance companies and any resulting legal proceedings will assess the evidence, statements made by parties and witnesses, and other circumstances surrounding the car accident to determine the degree of fault for each party. In states that follow this doctrine, the amount an injured party can recover for their personal injury is reduced by the percentage of their fault. To better explain this point, suppose that your damages suffered in the car accident totaled $1,000,000.00. If you were 50% at fault in causing the car accident, then your recovery would be $500,000.00.

Can I file a car accident claim against my driver?

Yes. If the driver of the vehicle in which you were a passenger is at fault for the car accident that caused your personal injury, then you can file a claim against your driver. In this case, generally, you will also be entitled to PIP benefits or no-fault benefits in addition to your liability claim.

Contact Stein Whatley Astorino, PLLC. Our experienced Kentucky car accident attorneys can evaluate your claim. They will discuss the options available to you so get the full and fair compensation you deserve.

Can I file a car accident claim against my spouse?

Yes. If you are injured in a car accident by the negligent actions of your spouse, you are entitled to the full benefits and financial protections covered by a policy of car insurance as any other car accident victim. Contact Stein Whatley Astorino, PLLC. Our experienced Kentucky car accident attorneys can evaluate your claim and discuss the options available to you to get the full and fair compensation you deserve.

What should I do if the car insurance company says the car accident is partially my fault?

As discussed above, you are still entitled to financial compensation even if you are partially at fault for causing the wreck. Your recovery would be reduced by your percentage of fault. However, insurance companies often use this as a ploy to reduce the amount of an injury settlement. You Should call Stein Whatley Astorino, PLLC immediately so their experienced Kentucky car accident lawyers can investigate the facts and circumstances of your car accident. Matt Stein, John Whatley, and Matt Stein have been able to change an insurance adjuster’s determination on many occasions after an investigation. Don’t let an insurance adjuster blame you for your own injuries.

Can I get an insurance settlement if the statute of limitations has run on my car accident case?

No. Statutes of limitations are deadlines that Kentucky courts strictly enforce after car accidents. You are not entitled to any financial compensation for your injuries through the courts after the statute of limitations expires. Therefore, the car insurance companies have no obligation to pay your claims. In this situation, the car insurance company will most likely deny your car accident claim outright and you will have no remedy. This is one of the most important reasons to contact Stein Whatley Astorino, PLLC, and their experienced Kentucky car accident lawyers immediately after a car wreck.

Questions About How Auto Insurance Works After a Car Accident

Why is my insurance involved if the car accident wasn’t my fault?

The short answer to this question is that the Kentucky legislature passed the Motor Vehicle Reparations Act (MVRA) in 1975 in response to the toll of millions of motor vehicle accidents nationally and comparable experience in Kentucky upon the interests of victims, the public, policyholders, and others. The MVRA requires certain minimum limits and also mandates no-fault benefits be included in all policies of auto insurance sold in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. These no-fault benefits cover the occupants of your car regardless of whether the car accident was your fault. No-fault benefits are discussed in greater detail below. Additionally, other coverages such as uninsured or underinsured insurance, are extra sources of recovery only available under your auto insurance policy. Contact Matt Stein, John Whatley, and Rob Astorino at Stein Whatley Astorino, PLLC to discuss your options in greater detail.

Why is Kentucky called a “no-fault” state?

As discussed above, personal injury protection insurance (PIP Insurance) is mandatory for all policies of car insurance sold in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. In the Commonwealth of Kentucky, one of your primary sources of benefits following a car accident is a claim against your personal injury protection (PIP) policy. Your PIP coverage is available for payment of medical bills and lost wages up to the stated policy limit, regardless of fault. This means that you don’t need to be able to prove that the other driver caused your car accident to obtain coverage. You must only show that you were a car accident victim and incurred medical bills or lost wages as a result of the car accident.

Please be advised that additional PIP benefits are available beyond the minimum statutory limits upon request to your car insurer. Our experienced Kentucky car accident attorneys can review all the policies of insurance available to you to ensure that you get the full financial compensation you deserve. Call Stein Whatley Astorino, PLLC now to discuss.

Can I sue the other driver if Kentucky is a “no-fault” state?

Yes. As discussed above, Kentucky is referred to as a no-fault state because no-fault benefits are mandatory for all car insurance policies sold in the state. It is still possible to sue the other driver if they are responsible for the car accident and your resulting personal injury. Kentucky law requires that drivers using the roadways within the commonwealth also carry bodily injury liability insurance in addition to PIP insurance.

Bodily injury liability insurance coverage is the type of insurance that covers accident victims’ bodily injuries when the insured driver is at fault in a car accident. To file a bodily injury liability insurance claim in Kentucky, you must meet the threshold for such claims. As discussed above, a threshold is met if medical bills exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000), or the injury or disease consists in whole or in part of permanent disfigurement, a fracture to a bone, a compound, comminuted, displaced or compressed fracture, loss of a body member, permanent injury within reasonable medical probability, permanent loss of bodily function or death.

What happens if the car I was riding in does have car insurance but does not have PIP coverage?

You may still be entitled to PIP benefits. In some Kentucky car accident cases, out-of-state car insurance policies may have to provide PIP benefits if the car insurance company is licensed to sell car insurance policies in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Talk to one of our experienced Kentucky car accident attorneys to see if you are entitled to these car accident benefits.

What happens if the car I was riding in does not have insurance?

You may still be entitled to PIP benefits through your auto insurance policy if you own a vehicle, or through a household member’s auto insurance policy or Kentucky Assigned Claims Plan if you don’t own a vehicle.

You would still make a bodily injury liability insurance claim against the other driver’s insurance policy if they caused the car accident in Kentucky. Your car’s uninsured status may have certain impacts on your recovery though. Our experienced Kentucky car accident attorneys can figure out the implications of the uninsured status and work to get you the fair and full compensation you deserve.

What is the minimum auto insurance required in Kentucky?

Kentucky law requires all drivers to carry three types of auto insurance coverage. The minimum coverage limits for each type of mandatory auto insurance in the Commonwealth of Kentucky are:

• Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – $10,000 per person per accident
• Bodily Injury Liability – $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident
• Property Damage – $25,000 per accident

For the serious car accidents we handle, these minimum coverage amounts won’t provide fair and full compensation for the damages and costs suffered by our clients. However, many of our clients were fortunate to purchase uninsured motorist (UM)/underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage. Our experienced Kentucky car accident lawyers may be able to use these additional coverages to increase your financial recovery too. Call Stein Whatley Astorino, PLLC to discuss your recovery options.

Are my car repairs covered by car insurance after a car accident?

Like a lot of scenarios under the law, it depends. The coverage for your car repairs in the aftermath of an accident hinges on various factors within the legal framework. If the other driver is determined to be at fault, you have the right to seek coverage for your car repairs through their property damage policy. In situations where this coverage falls short or if the responsible driver is uninsured, you may explore the option of filing a claim under your own car insurance policy’s collision coverage, if available. To explore and understand your specific options, it is advisable to consult with our knowledgeable Kentucky car accident lawyers.

How does the fact that the other driver was breaking the law at the time of the car accident affect my car accident claim?

Again, it depends. Simply because the other driver was violating the law during the car accident does not guarantee an automatic victory in your insurance claim or case. However, if the violation of the law was a direct factor in causing the car wreck, then it can help prove the other driver’s fault in causing the car accident. Violations like speeding, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol (DUI), distracted driving, texting while driving, running red lights, and running stop signs are against the law for a reason. Drivers who violate the law and hurt people in the process can and should be held accountable for those unlawful actions. Our experienced Kentucky car accident lawyers will use these facts to your advantage if the driver who hit you was breaking the law.

Questions About How to Maximize Compensation After a Car Accident

Is it better to settle my car accident claim with the insurance company or should I file a lawsuit?

There are a few things to consider when weighing settlement and going to trial. The first thing to consider is the offer from the car insurance company. Is it fair and just given your car accident and the personal injury suffered? Our Kentucky car accident lawyers have many years of claims experience and trial experience. They also have all the published jury verdicts in the Commonwealth of Kentucky for the last 20 years for injuries similar to yours. They will review them with you to get an idea of what juries have been awarded in the past. If the offer is fair and just, then accepting will likely be your best option. However, if it isn’t fair and just compensation for your losses then our experienced Kentucky trial lawyers are ready to take your claim to court.

Can I get punitive damages in a car accident lawsuit in Kentucky?

In certain cases where the at-fault party’s actions were particularly egregious or reckless, punitive damages may be awarded. These are intended to punish the wrongdoer and deter others from similar conduct. The grounds for seeking punitive damages are limited. However, if your facts and circumstances support such a claim then our experienced Kentucky car accident lawyers will advise you to pursue punitive damages in addition to your personal injury damages. Fortunately for Kentucky car accident victims, the state of Kentucky has not placed a cap on punitive damages.

Should I cash a check I received in the mail from the insurance company?

Our general recommendation is no. We recommend speaking with our experienced Kentucky car accident lawyers before cashing or depositing the check. You may inadvertently settle your case when you cash or deposit the check. As we discussed above, sending a low-ball check to car accident victims shortly after a wreck is an underhanded tactic car insurance companies use to limit their losses on claims. They hope that the car accident victim is desperate for money and accepts the low-ball settlement. It is a shameful way insurance companies take advantage of poor car accident victims. Or they hope that the car wreck victim inadvertently deposits the check not understanding that they may have settled their claim by doing so. In either instance, it is a tactic to limit your recovery before the full extent of your damages is known.

Before agreeing to an insurance settlement following a car accident, it’s crucial to be thoroughly aware of both the extended financial and non-financial implications of your injuries. Only accept an insurance check when you are certain that it genuinely represents fair and equitable compensation for all the incurred or anticipated costs and bodily injuries suffered in the car accident.

If I cash or deposit an insurance check that doesn’t fully cover my expenses, am I allowed to get more money later?

Possibly, but you should never risk it. As discussed above, once you cash or deposit an insurance check you are settling your case. Once settlement is reached then the claim is over. You cannot seek additional compensation even if the check doesn’t cover all your accident-related expenses, If you have received and cashed a check from an insurance company, you need to call our experienced Kentucky car accident lawyers who can help determine if the case has been closed or if you can still pursue additional recovery.

Once more, it is important not to accept a settlement until you have a clear understanding of the value of your case for which you are entitled to recover. This necessitates the assistance of a proven car accident lawyer who prioritizes your best interests. Matt Stein, John Whatley, and Rob Astorino at Stein Whatley Astorino, PLLC are available to discuss your situation. The initial consultation is free.

Questions about Filing Car Accident Claims Outside the Scope of Car Insurance

Can I file a car accident claim for a car accident resulting from a vehicle defect in Kentucky?

If individuals sustain injuries in a car accident due to a vehicle defect, they may be eligible to file a claim for compensation against the manufacturer of the defective vehicle, the manufacturer of the faulty component, or the dealership from which they purchased the defective car.

In these cases, it is vitally important to preserve evidence related to the defect. This may include keeping the damaged vehicle, saving any faulty parts, and documenting any repairs. It is also important to collect information about the vehicle, such as the make, model, and year, as well as the vehicle identification number (VIN). Also, document any maintenance or repairs that have been done on the vehicle. One of our experienced Kentucky car accident lawyers can guide you through these tasks.

Product defect claims differ from typical car insurance claims in that they may not necessitate evidence of negligence. Instead, these claims may be subject to a “strict liability” standard, wherein businesses are held accountable for placing faulty vehicles on the market, irrespective of whether negligence can be proven. Similar to most auto insurance claims, product defect claims require a review by an experienced Kentucky car accident attorney to determine the unique factors that make one of these claims successful. Matt Stein, John Whatley, and Rob Astorino at Stein Whatley Astorino, PLLC to discuss your specific situation.

Can I file a lawsuit against the manufacturer if I suffered serious injuries due to a defective airbag?

If you’ve been injured due to a malfunctioning airbag in your car, you may have the legal right to pursue a lawsuit against the manufacturer for a product defect. However, the success of your case will depend on various factors, including the specific details of the incident and the extent of your injuries.

The United States has seen the recall of tens of millions of cars and trucks as a result of defective airbags. Airbag defects refer to issues or malfunctions in the design, manufacturing, or deployment of airbags in vehicles. Airbags are crucial safety features designed to protect occupants during a collision by rapidly inflating to cushion the impact and reduce the risk of injury. However, defects in airbags can compromise their effectiveness and, in some cases, lead to serious injuries or fatalities. Here are some common airbag defects and associated issues:

• Inflator Defects: One of the most well-known airbag defects involves the inflator, which is responsible for rapidly releasing gas to inflate the airbag. Defective inflators can rupture or explode during deployment, leading to the release of metal fragments into the vehicle cabin. This poses a significant risk of injury or death to occupants.
• Deployment Issues: Airbags are designed to deploy at the right time and with the appropriate force during a collision. Defective sensors or faulty deployment systems can cause airbags to deploy too early, too late, or with excessive force, leading to injuries.
• Sensor Malfunctions: Sensors play a crucial role in detecting a collision and triggering the airbag deployment. Malfunctioning sensors may fail to detect a crash or, conversely, deploy the airbags unnecessarily.
• Manufacturing Flaws: Issues during the manufacturing process, such as poor-quality control or the use of substandard materials, can result in airbag defects. These defects may not become apparent until the airbags are needed in a real-world crash.
• Recalls: Due to the serious safety implications of airbag defects, vehicle manufacturers often issue recalls to address and fix the problems. Recalls involve replacing or repairing faulty airbags to ensure the safety of vehicle occupants.
• Takata Airbag Recall: One of the largest and most notable airbag-related recalls in recent years involved Takata Corporation. Millions of vehicles equipped with Takata airbags were recalled globally due to inflator defects that led to ruptures and injuries.

If you believe you were injured because your car’s airbag malfunctioned, you should call the experienced Kentucky car accident attorneys at Stein Whatley Astorino, PLLC to evaluate your personal injury claim.

Can file a lawsuit against a restaurant if one of their delivery drivers caused my car accident?

In general, a restaurant may be held liable for the actions of its employees, including delivery drivers, under Kentucky’s legal principle of vicarious liability or respondeat superior. This means when a car accident is caused by a careless or reckless delivery driver employed by a restaurant, you may also be able to go after the restaurant to seek appropriate and equitable compensation. Some drivers are subject to this rule and some are not depending on their employment status. Insurance coverage can also play a significant role in determining how a claim is resolved. In these scenarios, the restaurant will likely have a general liability insurance policy that will also provide financial compensation in addition to the delivery driver’s auto insurance.

If you believe you have a valid claim against a restaurant for a delivery driver’s negligence, you should consult with our experienced Kentucky car accident lawyers for advice tailored to your specific circumstances.

Can I file a car accident claim against Uber or Lyft due to their rideshare driver’s fault?

As discussed above, rideshare drivers aren’t classified as employees of Uber and Lyft in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. In this scenario, vicarious liability may not apply in rideshare accident cases in Kentucky. However, both Uber and Lyft have insurance policies that cover their drivers and passengers. If you’ve suffered serious injuries and damages due to a rideshare driver’s negligence and can’t fully recover your losses from the driver’s car insurance, our experienced Kentucky car accident lawyers will investigate the parties involved to determine if other policies of insurance are available to you. If applicable, we can file a car accident claim with Uber’s or Lyft’s insurance on your behalf.

Can I file a car accident claim against a government entity or employee if I suffered serious injuries in a road construction accident?

If you were injured in a road construction accident in Kentucky, you may have the option to file a claim against the responsible party, which could include the state or other entities involved in the construction project. In many cases, claims against government entities, such as the state of Kentucky, may be subject to specific rules and procedures. These rules are outlined by statute and may include shorter deadlines for filing claims and specific requirements for notice.

If you’ve suffered serious injuries in a car accident resulting from construction debris on the road, insufficient markings in a construction zone, or any other issues related to road construction in Kentucky, we recommend you seek guidance from our experienced Kentucky car accident lawyers who possess a deep understanding of Kentucky’s laws and statutes. Stein Whatley Astorino, PLLC can help you understand your rights, navigate the legal process, and determine the appropriate steps to take moving forward. Our experienced personal injury lawyers can also help you gather evidence, assess liability, and guide you through the complexities of filing a claim against a government entity or their contractors.
