What is the deadline in Kentucky?

Kentucky Revised Statutes § 413.140(1)(a) imposes a 1-year personal injury SOL — among the shortest in the nation. The discovery rule applies but Kentucky courts strictly construe it, making consultation with a PowerPort attorney important for Kentucky residents. A lawyer can confirm yours.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
