Is Kentucky considered a no-fault insurance state?
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. In KY, this coverage is called Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and can be used regardless of fault. The minimum required is $10,000 per accident.
For injuries related to an auto accident, PIP can help cover
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Out of pocket expenses like hiring someone to perform household tasks you can't due to injuries, and more
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
- Can reject PIP coverage and benefits
- 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.
