Exceptions and details
KRS 24A.230: $2,500 exclusive of interest and costs, for individuals and businesses; unchanged (statute effective June 8, 2011). Libel, slander, alienation of affections, malicious prosecution and abuse of process are excluded. Per the Court of Justice Small Claims Handbook (rev. Jan. 2025): an individual may not file more than 25 claims per calendar year; money lenders, collection agencies and assignees may not file.
Motor-vehicle accidents differ: under the Motor Vehicle Reparations Act, KRS 304.39-230(6), a tort action may be commenced within 2 years after the injury, death, or last basic/added reparation (PIP) payment, whichever is later (https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/law/statutes/statute.aspx?id=45816). Medical negligence against physicians/hospitals is also 1 year (KRS 413.140(1)(e)), running from discovery, with a 5-year outer limit. KRS 413.140 was amended by 2026 Ky. Acts ch. 172 (eff. July 15, 2026); subsection (1)(a) still reads one year.
The KBA does not operate a statewide LRS; this page lists regional services (Central Kentucky LRS / Fayette County Bar, Louisville Bar's Kentucky Lawyer Referral Service, Northern Kentucky Bar Association LRS) and states that none are affiliated with the KBA.
