Re: renumeration

Assuming the accident was not your fault, which seems likely given that

you were rear-ended, you are entitled to recover for your injuries, including

lost work time and pain and suffering. Kentucky is a "no fault" insurance

state, so you must reach a certain threshold before you can sue the driver of

the other car. (Otherwise, you collect from your own insurance carrier).

While it will not be as easy to quantify how much you should receive from "lost

work" because you are retired, you can recover for your "lost time." Your lawyer

will need to push hard to insure you are treated fairly as a retiree.
