Can I File a Lawsuit for Personal Injury in Kentucky?

Some accidents are unavoidable, and not every accident involves negligence. But, if you suspect your injuries were caused by someone else’s carelessness, recklessness, or poor decision-making, then you may be owed compensation.

Kentucky personal injury law requires you to prove the following when pursuing compensation:

• Duty: Duty in a personal injury claim refers to the responsibility you were owed by the defendant (the negligent party). For instance, if you were walking through a restaurant, the restaurant owner has a responsibility to ensure all public spaces are safe. If the floor was slick, then the restaurant would also have a duty to warn customers with appropriate signage.
• Breach of Duty: After establishing the duty, you must prove that the defendant breached their duty. Using the restaurant example above, a breach of duty would include failing to warn customers with signage if the floor was slippery or unsafe.
• Causation: Next, you must prove causation. Causation means that the defendant’s breach of duty caused your injury. For a slip-and-fall case, you would have to prove that the defendant’s negligence caused you to fall.
• Damages: Proving that the defendant was negligent is not enough to recover compensation in a personal injury case. You must also show that your life was negatively impacted by the accident and the injuries you suffered. You could be eligible for compensation in the form of damages for your medical expenses, lost wages, and other losses. You could also be able to claim compensation for pain, suffering, and emotional distress.
