A Kentucky Attorney Fee Election is a process by which an injured person can seek to recover attorney fees from the party at fault in a personal injury case. This is done by filing a motion with the court that asks the court to order the defendant to pay a portion of the injured person's attorney fees. There are two types of Kentucky Attorney Fee Elections: statutory fee election and equitable fee election. A statutory fee election is when a court orders the defendant to pay a predetermined portion of the injured person's attorney fees based on Kentucky's statutory fee schedule. An equitable fee election is when a court orders the defendant to pay a portion of the injured person's attorney fees that is deemed equitable or fair by the court.
