Kentucky statute of limitations

How Kentucky law treats burn-injury claims

Shared fault

Kentucky follows pure comparative negligence: damages are reduced by the injured person's share of fault, with no percentage that bars recovery outright.

Ky. Rev. Stat. § 411.182

Damage caps

Kentucky cannot cap injury damages at all. The state constitution forbids the legislature from limiting recovery for injury or death, which makes Kentucky one of the few states where no damages cap of any kind can be enacted.

Ky. Const. § 54

Claims against government

Claims against state agencies go to the Kentucky Claims Commission within one year. Cities receive 90 days' notice, but only for injuries caused by defective streets, sidewalks, or bridges.

Ky. Rev. Stat. §§ 49.120(1), 411.110
