Where to File in Kentucky
Kentucky personal injury claims are governed by KRS § 413.140, providing a 1-year limitations period — the most restrictive in the United States. PFAS claimants in Kentucky must consult an attorney immediately. Federal PFAS claims proceed in MDL 2873 (D.S.C.), where MDL tolling orders may provide some protection for enrolled claimants. Fort Knox south of Louisville has documented PFAS from AFFF operations. Blue Grass Army Depot in Richmond has chemical disposal and AFFF contamination concerns. The Louisville industrial corridor along the Ohio River has additional PFAS discharge history.
