How we match your Florence personal injury case

When you submit a Florence personal injury matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.

Case type

A personal injury matter needs someone who handles personal injury work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.

Size and complexity

Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.

Jurisdiction and licensing

Your matter is decided under Kentucky law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Kentucky who regularly appears where your case would be heard.

Capacity and fit

Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.

Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.

Florence carries heavy traffic from I-71/75, the Mall Road retail strip, and Houston Road, plus constant truck and delivery movement tied to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport and the surrounding logistics parks in Boone County. Injury suits from crashes and other negligence here are filed in Boone Circuit Court, with smaller claims heard in Boone District Court. Kentucky allocates fault among the people involved, so an insurer will often argue you share blame to shrink what it pays. Photos, scene evidence, and prompt treatment records matter. DearLegal matches you with a Kentucky-licensed attorney who handles personal injury cases in Florence, with a free review.

Personal injury suits arising in Florence are filed in Boone Circuit Court, with lower-value claims in Boone District Court.

Statute of Limitations: 1 year
1 year for most PI claims (KRS § 413.140(1)(a)); 2 years from last Basic Reparations Benefit for motor vehicle cases (KRS § 304.39-230)
Fault Rule: Pure comparative
Pure comparative fault (Hilen v. Hays, 673 S.W.2d 713) — recovery reduced by your percentage of fault, no bar

Kentucky Board of Claims (state) under KRS § 49.040 et seq.; municipal claims subject to KRS § 411.110 and local procedural rules.
Joint and Several Liability: Abolished

Most Kentucky personal injury attorneys work on contingency: the fee is a share of what they recover, and nothing if they don’t.

Personal injury attorneys in Kentucky work on a contingency fee basis — typically 33% to 40% of the total recovery. Given Kentucky’s 1-year SOL and the BRB coordination rules, calling counsel immediately after an injury is critical. Case expenses are typically advanced by the firm and deducted from the final recovery.

Most injury cases from Florence go to Boone Circuit Court, while smaller-dollar claims are handled in Boone District Court. If the incident happened in Ohio or Indiana, that state's courts and rules apply. An attorney will confirm the venue based on where it occurred and the size of the claim.

Not automatically. Kentucky allocates fault among the people involved, so shared blame can reduce recovery rather than erase it. Insurers push this argument hard, which is why the scene evidence and witness accounts an attorney gathers early carry so much weight.

Kentucky sets deadlines that vary depending on the kind of claim, the type of vehicle or party involved, and other details. Because a missed deadline is fatal to the case, have a Kentucky attorney confirm your specific one as soon as possible.

One year from the date of injury under KRS § 413.140(1)(a) — one of the shortest SOLs in the country. Motor vehicle cases get an extended window of two years from the date of the accident or the last Basic Reparations Benefit, whichever is later, under KRS § 304.39-230. Wrongful death is one year under KRS § 413.140 (or two years from appointment of personal representative under § 413.180).

Under Hilen v. Hays, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault but there is no bar — even at 99% fault you can still recover the remaining 1%. Combined with several liability under KRS § 411.182, every apportionment decision still matters.
