The Elements of a Wrongful Death Claim in Kentucky
Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 411.130 says that you can recover damages if you can prove:
- Another party owed your loved one a duty of care. Everyone has a duty of care. For instance, all motorists have a duty of care to drive with caution.
- Another party violated their duty of care. This means the other party acted carelessly or recklessly.
- The other party caused your loved one’s passing.
- You have incurred various losses, including funeral bills and end-of-life care costs.
Kentucky law allows the personal representative of the decedent’s estate to initiate legal action. This representative is usually named in the decedent’s will or named by the state. The personal representative seeks compensation for the benefit of the decedent’s spouse, children, and parents.
You Must File Your Lawsuit Within the Appropriate Deadline
Our state only gives you one year, according to Ky. Rev. Stat. § 413.180,to file a lawsuit. This makes considering your legal options crucial.
There can be severe consequences if you miss the filing deadline. If the statute of limitations expires on your case, you could lose the right to seek compensation from the at-fault party.

Financial Recovery in Your Case Could Account for These Losses
Through a claim or lawsuit, recoverable damages in your case could comprise:
- Your loved one’s final medical costs, including hospice and life support
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Your loved one’s pain and suffering
- Loss of the decedent’s income and other financial contributions
