About this Car Accident Settlement Calculator
This calculator uses the multiplier method, the starting point most insurance adjusters and personal injury lawyers use. It adds your financial losses (medical bills and lost wages) to a pain-and-suffering figure, which is those losses multiplied by a factor set by how serious the injury is: 1.5 to 2 times for minor injuries, up to 4 to 5 times for catastrophic ones. The type of accident adjusts the result, and it is then reduced by your share of fault under Kentucky law. In Kentucky, a no-fault state, it also separates what your own PIP insurance pays from what you can claim from the other driver.
Kentucky rules this calculator applies
- Fault rule
- Pure comparative fault. Your payout drops by your share of fault, but you can still recover even if you were mostly at fault.
- Deadline to file
- You generally have one year from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim in Kentucky. Claims against a government body usually need formal notice much sooner, and medical malpractice and wrongful death claims can have their own deadlines.
- No-fault
- Yes. Your own PIP pays first; see below.
No-fault insurance in Kentucky
Kentucky is a no-fault state. After a car accident, your own personal injury protection (PIP) pays your medical bills and 85% of your lost income, up to $10,000, whoever caused the crash.
You can claim pain and suffering from the at-fault driver only if your injury includes a fracture, a permanent injury, permanent disfigurement, loss of a body member, or death, or your medical bills exceed $1,000. Financial losses above your PIP limit can still be claimed.
Kentucky drivers are covered by no-fault unless they filed a written rejection with the Department of Insurance before the accident; those who rejected it keep full rights to sue.
Motorcycle riders are generally outside PIP and follow the ordinary fault rules. Choose Motorcycle Accident in the calculator above to see that estimate.
