Liability Overview
Liability Considerations in Louisville
Kentucky's 1-year statute of limitations (KRS § 413.140) is one of the most urgent deadlines for birth injury families in the nation. The parent's own claim expires in exactly 1 year from the injury date. The child's claim tolls until age 19 (age 18 plus 1 year). Louisville families who suspect a birth injury must consult a birth injury attorney immediately — do not delay. Kentucky does not cap medical malpractice damages, making it a favorable jurisdiction for catastrophic birth injury cases when the statute is timely met.
