Statute of Limitations
KRS § 413.140(1)(a) imposes a 1-year personal injury limitations period — among the shortest in the U.S. The discovery rule applies, tolling the clock until the plaintiff knew or should have known of the mesh injury and its cause. However, the 1-year period from discovery leaves little time for investigation and case preparation. Kentucky claimants recently diagnosed with mesh-related complications must consult with an attorney immediately. No statute of repose applies. Kentucky's geographic proximity to S.D. Ohio MDL court in Columbus is logistically advantageous.
