Auto Accident Victim Injured by Government Employee? If so, your rights are restricted- Welcome to Sovereign Immunity!
Nov 16th, 2009
One of the strange characteristics of the law concerns the
negligent acts of government employees while they are working. Kentucky, like
all other states, have adopted laws that restrict the rights of auto accident, truck accident and motorcycle accident victims who are
injured as the result of the negligence of government workers. These “sovereign
immunity” laws say that you may not make a claim or sue the government except
on the terms and conditions allowed by that government. In Kentucky, that means
that you must file your Kentucky injury claim within one year or lose it, you must file it
before the Board of Claims and not state or federal court and that your damages
are limited to $200,000.00 no matter the value of your claim.
The
sovereign immunity laws are complicated and it is imperative that you contact
a Kentucky personal injury attorney to see if they apply to your case. The Kentucky Auto Accident Attorney can guide you through this process.

"Mr. Troutman is the most honest attorney I have ever had or know of. You can tell with speaking with him he is honest and has your best interest at heart. Mr. Troutman seeks all avenues of interest to your case. I wished I had known him years ago. The world would be a better place with more people like him." — LaJuan Sweasy | Frankfort, Kentucky
