01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Kentucky?
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 window is 1 year. 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.
