For the Kentucky Injury Lawyer: Proposal extends statute of limitations on claims against 3rd Parties
Kentucky Injury Lawyers will find this proposal interesting. The legislation extends the statute of limitations against 3rd Party Defendants.
SB 210 (BR 2249) - T. Jensen, R. Stivers II
AN ACT relating to civil actions.
Create a new section of KRS Chapter 411 to allow a plaintiff in a civil action where comparative fault becomes an issue, where suit was initiated against the original defendant within the statute of limitations, where the original defendant alleges that a third party caused or contributed to the plaintiff's injury, and where the plaintiff would be barred by a statute of limitations from bringing a claim against that third party to either amend the complaint pursuant to Rule 15 of the Kentucky Rules of Civil Procedure or institute a separate action within ninety days of the filing of the first answer or amended answer alleging such third party's fault; establish that the new cause of action is not barred by any statute of limitations.
