What is the deadline in Kentucky?

Kentucky: 1 year for product liability (Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 413.140(1)(a)). Discovery rule applies for latent injuries — the limitations period begins when the plaintiff discovers or should have discovered the injury and its connection to the product. 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.

02 · Where cases are heard

Where would my case be heard?

Kentucky's 1-year statute of limitations for personal injury — tied with Tennessee as the shortest in the nation — applies to Dupixent patients diagnosed with CTCL. An estimated 34,000 Kentuckians have been prescribed Dupixent since 2017, with prescribing concentrated through health systems in Louisville, Lexington, and the Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati corridor. The Markey Cancer Center at the University of Kentucky, an NCI-designated cancer center, provides specialized cutaneous lymphoma diagnostic capabilities in Lexington. Louisville's Norton Healthcare and University of Louisville Health also serve significant patient populations.

Kentucky has two federal judicial districts: the Eastern District (Lexington/Covington) and Western District (Louisville/Bowling Green). Both districts have managed pharmaceutical litigation. Kentucky follows a pure comparative fault system and does not cap compensatory damages in product liability cases. Kentucky's 1-year SOL is among the shortest in the nation, tied with Tennessee.
