Where to File in Kentucky
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.
