Insurance Disputes Laws in Kentucky.
Kentucky insurance disputes can involve denied claims, bad-faith refusal to pay, coverage fights, and regulatory complaints. Kentucky insurance regulation lives in chapter 304 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes and is enforced by the Kentucky Department of Insurance. Kentucky recognizes both a common-law bad-faith cause of action and statutory unfair claims-settlement practices under KRS 304.12-230.
