Intentional Negligent Infliction Of Emotional Distress Statute Of Limitations in Kentucky

For a claim of intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress in Kentucky, the statute of limitations is set by Ky. Rev. Stat. § 413.140(1)(a). That governing authority establishes a one-year filing deadline from the date the cause of action accrues. The one-year period applies uniformly to both intentional and negligent theories of emotional distress, as the statute does not differentiate between them. The verified figure of one year is confirmed in the official source. The worked example below illustrates how this deadline is calculated from a given accrual date. To estimate the filing deadline for a specific situation, the calculator on this page applies the rule using the official source’s precise terms.
