Can I still sue if I caused the accident?

The amount of money awarded to individuals in a lawsuit depends greatly on how much “fault” the person has in the accident. The state of Kentucky has a pure comparative negligence system. In this system, if a plaintiff was responsible for 90 percent of the accident, he or she could only recover 10 percent of his or her losses. However, an experienced attorney could help you argue that you deserve little to none of the blame for the accident in question, which may result in a larger amount of compensation.

In order to fully assess how much you can recover, you need the help of a qualified personal injury lawyer. Contact the Louisville personal injury lawyers of the Sampson Law Firm at 502-584-5050 today and schedule a free consultation.
