Breach Written Contract Statute Of Limitations in Kentucky

Under Kentucky law, a claim for breach of a written contract is subject to a one-year statute of limitations, as established by Ky. Rev. Stat. § 413.140(1)(a). This provision governs the time within which a plaintiff must file a civil action after the cause of action accrues. The one-year period is a strict statutory limit, and the official source provides the precise legislative language. The verified figure of one year is applied in the worked example below, which demonstrates how the rule operates in a factual scenario. Because the rule sets out accrual principles and potential exceptions, readers should consult the official source for exact details. To estimate how this limitation period applies to a specific situation, use the DocketMath calculator.
