Claims and Appeals Litigation

The Public Protection Cabinet, Office of Claims and Appeals for Negligence Claims, was established to ensure an impartial and fair review of all claims filed by a claimant who believes their person or property has been damaged through negligence on the part of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The Office of Claims and Appeals determines whether the Commonwealth, any of its cabinets, departments, bureaus, or agencies, or any of its officers, agents, or employees while acting within the scope of their employment, has been negligent and consequently caused damage, loss or injury to a claimant. Anyone may file a claim with the Office of Claims and Appeals. A claim may be reduced by the amount a claimant is entitled to receive from any other source, including private medical or motor vehicle insurance.

A claimant may obtain information or file a claim with the Office of Claims and Appeals against the Commonwealth of Kentucky, any of its cabinets (including the Transportation Cabinet), departments, bureaus, or agencies, or any of its officers, agents, or employees below:
