Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims in Kentucky

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Kentucky?

In most personal injury cases in Kentucky, you have two years from the date of the accident or injury to file a lawsuit — this is known as the statute of limitations. However, certain cases involving government entities, medical malpractice, or specific injury types may have different deadlines. Waiting too long can permanently bar your right to compensation. Contact Hensley Law Office, P.S.C. at (606) 836-3117 as soon as possible after your injury to protect your legal rights.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident in Kentucky?

Kentucky follows a pure comparative fault rule — meaning you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault, but your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies often try to assign blame to injured victims to reduce what they pay. Having an experienced attorney like Jeff Hensley in your corner from the start helps counter these tactics effectively.

What should I do immediately after a car accident in Kentucky?

Call 911 and get a police report filed at the scene. Document everything — photos of vehicles, road conditions, and any visible injuries. Get contact and insurance information from all parties. Do not admit fault or apologize. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney. Then call Hensley Law Office, P.S.C. at (606) 836-3117 as soon as possible — ideally before you speak with anyone else.

What compensation can I recover in a Kentucky personal injury case?

Compensation in a Kentucky personal injury case may include medical bills and future medical care, lost wages and reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, and in wrongful death cases, funeral expenses and loss of companionship. Jeff Hensley will assess every available category of compensation for your specific situation during your free consultation.

Do I need a personal injury lawyer in Kentucky?

You are not required to hire an attorney, but statistics consistently show that injury victims represented by an experienced attorney recover significantly more compensation than those who handle claims on their own — even after attorney fees. Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers working to minimize your claim. You deserve someone fighting for you with equal experience and determination. Call Hensley Law Office, P.S.C. at (606) 836-3117 for a free consultation.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney in Kentucky?

At Hensley Law Office, P.S.C., personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis — meaning you pay absolutely no attorney fees unless we win your case. There are no upfront costs and no financial risk to you for getting experienced legal representation. Call us today at (606) 836-3117 and speak directly with Jeff Hensley.
