Statute of Limitations
Kentucky has a 1-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (KRS § 413.140). The discovery rule applies for latent disease — the SoL begins when the plaintiff discovers or should have discovered the connection between talcum powder and cancer. The 1-year window makes prompt action critical.
