What Kentucky Law Requires Next

Kentucky requires immediate notification to law enforcement for a collision causing personal injury or damage that renders the vehicle inoperable. Under Kentucky Revised Statutes covered by FindLaw, the more-than-$500 property-damage threshold applies to a written report when no law-enforcement investigation occurs: the driver files that report within 10 days, while an investigating law-enforcement agency files its report within 10 days after the investigation.
