Motorcycle Accident Victims in Kentucky – Watch out for short statute of limitations!
Nov 3rd, 2009
If you are like most motorcycle accident victims in Kentucky,
you did not purchase Kentucky no-fault coverage for your motorcycle. Kentucky
law requires operators of cars and trucks to purchase no-fault coverage in
order to drive on Kentucky roadways, but not motorcycles. As a Kentucky motorcycle accident attorney I know that if you did not
purchase no-fault coverage on your motorcycle and you are involved in an
accident, you only have one year from the date of your accident to file a
lawsuit.
In contrast, had you purchased no-fault coverage, you would
have two (2) years from the date of your last no-fault payment to file your
lawsuit. This longer statute of limitations gives you the time you need to
recover from your injuries so that I, as your Kentucky motorcycle accident attorney, can present the strongest case possible
to the insurance company. Additionally, it gives you the time needed to try and
resolve your case with the insurance company without having to file a lawsuit.
It is
prudent to purchase Kentucky no-fault coverage for your motorcycle if for no other
reason than to extend the statute of limitations. If you do not purchase
no-fault, watch out for the one-year statute of limitations! Contact the office of the Kentucky Auto Accident Attorney to represent you to make sure that your rights are protected and you receive the best recovery possible. Matt Troutman has been a motorcycle accident attorney since 1986
