Can I get compensation if the accident was partly my fault?

Can I get compensation if the accident was partly my fault?

Yes. First, however, because Kentucky is a “no fault” state” drivers are required to file a claim with their own insurance. To file a lawsuit against the other driver(s), you must first exhaust your personal injury protection benefits and have suffered severe injuries.

Kentucky courts are mandated to follow the pure comparative negligence rules when hearing court cases. Under the pure comparative rules, fault is assigned to each at-fault party, and the damages are apportioned according to the percentages of fault. For example, if you are awarded $1,000 for your injuries, but are found to be 10 percent at fault, you will only receive $900.
