Kentucky vehicle claims: guidance and practical terms

Kentucky DOI’s auto FAQ says the insurer may recommend a body shop but cannot require a particular one. Choosing a shop that charges more than the amount the insurer agrees to pay may leave you responsible for the difference.

The same guide says owners may request OEM parts but may have to pay the additional cost over aftermarket parts. Record the requested part type and any price disagreement explicitly in the estimate.

For an unresolved insurance concern, use the Department’s official complaint page to choose the current submission route. Keep the insurer’s correspondence and your explanation of the disputed issue together.

Choose the service and evidence for your asset

Send unit identification, current location, damage photographs and the requested scope. Supplements need the baseline estimate and evidence for added operations; desk review needs specific questions.

Heavy trucks, trailers, agricultural or construction equipment, ATVs, boats and aircraft require asset-specific scope and fee confirmation. Auto rules do not automatically govern these assets. Estimating is not a safety, seaworthiness or airworthiness certification.

Estimating, policy appraisal and property valuation are distinct

A damage estimate does not appoint an appraisal-clause appraiser, umpire or adjuster. These roles have separate requirements. We do not decide coverage or guarantee payment.

Home and mortgage valuations require separate credentials, lender ordering and any applicable appraisal-management compliance. This page does not confirm an available real estate provider network.
