Yes, Kentucky is a choice no-fault insurance state. In general, "no-fault" means that each person uses their own insurance to cover any injury related medical bills and costs due to an auto accident.

For injuries related to an auto accident, PIP can help cover

Because KY is a choice no-fault insurance state, you can choose to opt out when you buy car insurance. By opting out, you
  • Have the right to pursue a liability claim or personal injury lawsuit against the at fault party

  • Open yourself up to the risk of being sued if you're at fault for an auto accident

You should keep all these things in mind when you choose your coverage.
