Damages Allocation in Kentucky
In Kentucky, damages are allocated among multiple defendants under the comparative fault rule codified in Ky. Rev. Stat. § 411.182. The statute requires the trier of fact to determine the percentage of fault attributable to each party, including the plaintiff if contributory negligence is alleged. Each defendant is then liable only for the economic and noneconomic damages corresponding to their assigned percentage of fault. The official source at the link below sets out the specific factors the court must consider when apportioning fault. The worked example on this page demonstrates how the allocation is calculated. To estimate how damages would be divided in your own situation, use the DocketMath calculator.
