Treble Damages Calculator Guide for Kentucky

US-KY treble damages rules

This source-backed guide covers US-KY treble damages authority (Ky. Rev. Stat. § 411.165 (timber trespass — three times stumpage value if intentional)). It explains how to read the calculator's multiplier output and points to the controlling US-KY multiplier statutes.

What the output means

Run this scenario in DocketMath using the Treble Damages calculator.

When the calculator shows a multiplier result, read it as a statutory multiplier on the base damages figure, not as a separate damages category.

• Base damages stay the same until the multiplier is applied.
• The statutory multiplier changes the total by the rule-specified factor.
• Any cap, exception, or carve-out still controls if the statute says it does.

US-KY rule notes

Statutory multiplier

Ky. Rev. Stat. § 411.165 (timber trespass — three times stumpage value if intentional) governs the treble (multiple) damages rule for US-KY.

411.165. Invalid Statute KRS 44.001 The link you have followed was to a version of a statute that was in effect at the time the document was prepared but has been superseded by a later version or repealed and is no longer valid. For the current version of the statute, click KRS 44.001 . For the superseded version , contact the Reviser of Statutes by e-mail at reviser@lrc.ky.gov

What changes the result most

• The base damages input, because the multiplier applies to that number.
• The statutory multiplier itself, because 2x, 3x, and 4x produce different totals.
• Any cap or carve-out in the statute, because it can limit the multiplied amount.

Use the calculator

DocketMath's treble-damages calculator can model multiplier outcomes once you identify the controlling statute and whether a cap or exception applies. Use the source panel for the verified primary-source rule.
