Peter Tripp
Attorney
“One of the first things an insurance company does in a car accident case is seek to minimize how much it will pay. They don’t act like a good neighbor. They forget that it’s not the 15% they might save you in a 15-minutes that matters, it’s the coverage for the accidents that happen. Watch TV between 8 and 9 o’clock and ask yourself, how can insurance companies afford so much advertising if they’re justly paying meritorious claims?”

How Long Do I Have To File a Car Accident Claim?
The statute of limitations dictates how long plaintiffs have to file a personal injury claim. In Kentucky, for cases involving car accidents, a claim must be filed within two years of the date of the incident or from the last payment under the Personal Injury Protection (PIP) plan, whichever is later.
It is important to note that filing deadlines differ for personal injury, property damage, and wrongful death cases. Missing this deadline can result in losing the right to compensation. Because of this, it is critical to partner with a car crash lawyer in Florence who can preserve evidence and protect your rights throughout the process.
How Long Will a Car Accident Settlement Take?
The timeline of your auto accident settlement will vary based on the following factors:
- Severity of injuries
- Medical treatment duration
- Insurance company negotiations
- Whether the case settles or goes to trial
Minor settlements may settle in as little as a few months. However, more serious injury claims and disputes may take six to 18 months—or even longer—to resolve. Rushing a settlement can result in undervaluing the claim. By working with an experienced attorney, you can speed up negotiations while still protecting your right to maximum compensation.
What Compensation Can You Recover After a Car Accident?
Based on the details of your accident, you may be eligible for various forms of compensation, such as economic, non-economic, and punitive damages. Economic damages enable you to claim quantifiable losses related to your accident, including:
- Medical expenses
- Out-of-pocket costs
- Income and wage loss
- Property damage
Non-economic damages refer to the intangible losses that arise from your injuries, which might include:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional and psychological distress
- Scarring, disfigurement, and disability
- Loss of enjoyment of life
A court may award punitive damages in cases of severe misconduct. These damages aim to penalize the defendant and deter similar behavior in the future. For instance, such damages might apply in a car accident if the driver was intoxicated or if their reckless actions behind the wheel led to a wrongful death.
Settlement amounts will vary based on the severity of your injuries, fault, and insurance coverage. As stated by Attorney Justin Lawrence,
“Almost every case has medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering as damages. Some cases have special damages such as loss of consortium, punitive, or malice damages. Knowing which ones apply to your case and how to prove the damages is a big part of a lawyer’s job.”
How Is Fault Handled in Kentucky Car Accident Cases?
Kentucky is a no-fault state, meaning that in a car accident, drivers must file a claim with their own insurance company, regardless of who is at fault for the accident. Their insurer will then cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages from the incident. This expedites the claim process and reduces litigation by removing the need to prove fault.

“Kentucky does not write citations to the at-fault driver unless they were drunk or driving very, very recklessly. (It is rare.) That is why Kentucky is called a “no-fault” state, but it doesn’t mean anything in a money lawsuit. On your auto insurance, the PIP coverage can be paid no matter who was at fault, but you have to prove someone else was at fault before you can get anything from the rest of the policy.”
