In Kentucky, personal injury actions must be commenced within one year after the date of accrual, Ky.Rev.Stat.Ann. § 413.140(1)(a) (Michie 1992), and this one year statute of limitations applies to § 1983 actions.

Southerland v. Hardaway Management Company, Inc. · filed 1995-01-12(1)(a)

The Hall court followed Wilson v. Garcia, 471 U.S. 261, 105 S.Ct. 1938, 85 L.Ed.2d 254 (1985), in stating that Kentucky's one year statute of limitations for personal injury actions, KRS 413.140, establishes the limitations period for claims under the Rehabilitation Act. ...

Bonner v. Perry · filed 2009-04-20(1)(a)

Section 413.140 imposes a one-year limitations period on an action for declaration of rights alleging a violation of constitutional rights.

Hill v. Thompson · filed 2009-10-23

Regardless, and with respect to Hill’s assertions that he was not considered for meritorious good time at all between 1990 and 1993, and again in 1995, we find that the statute of limitations set forth in KRS 413.140 bars such an action in any event. Clearly, under the law of this Commonwealth, an action for declaration of rights alleging a violation of constitutional rights is subject to the one-year statute of limitations set forth in KRS 413.140.

The statute of limitations for an action alleging a violation of civil rights, under either federal or Kentucky law, is one year. ...

Wright v. Louisville Metro Gov't · filed 2025-07-16(1)(a)

Section 413.140(1)(a) supplies a one-year limitations period for Bivens claims arising from alleged violations in Kentucky; an earlier action dismissed without prejudice does not make a later complaint timely.

Taylor · filed 2026-06-25(1)(a)

In Kentucky, § 1983 actions are limited by the one-year statute of limitations for personal injuries found in KRS § 413.140(1)(a).

Section 413.140’s one-year limit for personal-injury actions does not bar a motor vehicle tort claim governed by the two-year limit in KRS 304.39-230(6).

Tucker v. Johnson · filed 1981-04-10

KRS 413.140 provides that an action for an injury to the person must be commenced within one year after the cause of action accrues. ... We hold that the statute of limitations set forth in KRS 304.-39-230(6) applies, and that the action of the Tuckers was not barred.

KRS 413.140’s one-year personal-injury limit does not apply to a motorist’s tort claim arising from a vehicle accident against a nonmotorist when the MVRA’s two-year limit governs.

Bailey v. Reeves · filed 1984-01-19

The trial court dismissed the action on grounds that it was barred by KRS 413.140 since it was not filed within one year from the date of the accident. The Kentucky Court of Appeals affirmed. Because the literal language of the MVRA extends the statute of limitations to two years for actions “with respect to accidents occurring in this Commonwealth and arising from the ownership, maintenance or use of a motor vehicle,” when not “abolished” by the Act, we reverse.

Section 413.140 continues to apply to motor vehicle injury torts; the no-fault law changes the limitations period to two years without displacing the saving rule for minors and persons under disability.

Lemmons v. Ransom · filed 1984-05-31(1)(a)

Here the statute of limitations in KRS 304.39-230(6) modifies only that language contained in KRS 413.140 and does not abolish the entire statute of limitations for those torts arising from motor vehicle accidents. Consequently KRS 413.170 tolls the two-year statute of limitations under the no-fault statute in cases of minors and persons under disability.

Section 413.140(1)(a) sets a one-year limit for personal injury actions, but the two-year limit in KRS 304.39-230(6) governs claims arising from motor vehicle accidents.

Troxell v. Trammell · filed 1987-05-21(1)(a)

Thus the statutory language in KRS 304.39-230(6) applies rather than the statutory language in KRS 413.140(1)(a) in the present situation where the cause of action is both a motor vehicle accident and a personal injury claim.

Section 413.140(1)(a)’s one-year personal injury limit does not govern a motor vehicle accident victim’s claim when the MVRA’s two-year limit applies.

Dakota Miller v. T & J Land Co., LLC · filed 2023-01-05(1)(a)

Pursuant to Troxell, “KRS 304.39-230(6) applies rather than . . . KRS 413.140(1)(a) in the present situation where the cause of action is both a motor vehicle accident and a personal injury claim.” 730 S.W.2d at 528. Therefore, Miller’s claims were not barred by statute of limitations and the circuit court wrongly dismissed his complaint.

Section 413.140’s one-year limit for personal injury claims is displaced by the MVRA’s two-year limit for qualifying motor vehicle injuries.

Billy E. Powers, as Administrator of the Estate of Donna Powers v. Kentucky Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company · filed 2024-06-13

The MVRA’s two-year statute of limitations preempts the general one-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims where those injuries “aris[e] from the ownership, maintenance, or use of a motor vehicle” and are not otherwise barred by the MVRA’s no-fault provisions. KRS 413.140; KRS 304.39-060.

Section 413.140(1)(a)’s one-year period for negligence claims is displaced by the MVRA’s two-year period for qualifying motor vehicle injuries.

Wessling v. Miner · filed 2025-06-11(1)(a)

Ordinarily, in Kentucky, a common law negligence claim is subject to a one-year statute of limitations. ... However, the Motor Vehicle Reparations Act (MVRA)’s “two-year statute of limitations preempts the general one-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims where those injuries ‘aris[e] from the ownership, maintenance, or use of a motor vehicle’ and are not otherwise barred by the MVRA’s no-fault provisions.” ... Applying this two-year limitations period here (and even assuming Wessling’s action accrued on the date of injury), a dismissal without prejudice would leave him with enough time to refile his claims against Defendant Miner.
