Statute of Limitations
Kentucky personal injury SOL: 1 year (KRS § 413.140(1)(a)) — the shortest SOL in the US. Minor tolling: SOL tolled until age 18, then 1-year SOL runs — child's claim expires at age 19 (KRS § 413.170). Wrongful death: 1 year from death (KRS § 413.140(1)(a)). Kentucky follows pure comparative fault. Discovery rule recognized.
Age 19 for surviving minor's personal injury claim; 1 year from death for wrongful death
