Statute of Limitations
Kentucky has only a 1-year statute of limitations for personal injury from truck accidents (KRS § 413.140) — the shortest in the Southeast and one of the shortest in the nation. This means victims must act quickly. Modified comparative fault with 51% bar. Claims against the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet or local governments have their own notice requirements under the Board of Claims Act (KRS § 44.070).
1 year from date of accident — CRITICAL: file immediately
