How Kentucky law treats apartment fire injuries
Statutory research reviewed 2026-08-14. Not legal advice.
- 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
Directory coverage for Kentucky is expanding
We don’t have listings here yet — coverage grows state by state rather than all at once. Burn and fire cases are routinely handled across state lines, so attorneys listed elsewhere in the region may still be able to help.
Frequently asked questions
How many attorneys handling apartment fire injuries are listed in Kentucky?
No Kentucky firms are listed for this case type yet. Directory coverage is expanding state by state.
What is the deadline to file a apartment fire claim in Kentucky?
The Kentucky statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is 1 year (Ky. Rev. Stat. § 413.140(1)(a)). That is among the shortest filing windows in the country. Once the deadline passes the claim is generally barred no matter how strong the underlying facts are.
