Childhood Sexual Abuse Civil Statute Of Limitations in Kentucky

Under Kentucky law, the civil statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse claims is set by Ky. Rev. Stat. § 413.140(1)(a). That governing authority establishes a one-year filing window from the date the cause of action accrues. The official statutory text, available through the Kentucky legislature’s website, provides the precise rule and any applicable exceptions or conditions that may affect the limitations period. The verified one-year figure is applied in the worked example below, which demonstrates how the deadline is calculated under this statute. Because the specific rule may involve factors beyond the general one-year period, users should consult the official source and the DocketMath calculator to estimate their own filing deadline based on their unique circumstances.
