Kentucky has a pure comparative negligence law. This law states that there is no limit to the percentage a plaintiff can be at fault for the car accident and still be eligible for financial compensation. In other words, even if you contributed to the crash, you could still collect a monetary award. If you are found to be at fault, the courts will subtract an amount that is equivalent to your percentage of fault from your recovery. Being found 15 percent at fault for a car accident that is worth $100,000, for example, would reduce your recovery to $85,000.
