What is the deadline in Kentucky?
Kentucky has a 1-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims — the shortest in the nation. A lawyer can confirm yours.
Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Kentucky has documented PFAS contamination at Fort Knox south of Louisville, Blue Grass Army Depot in Richmond, and the Kentucky Air National Guard in Louisville. Industrial chemical manufacturing in the Ohio River corridor adds to PFAS exposure in the Louisville metro area.
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 should consult an attorney. 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.
