Dog bite cases are controlled by statute in Kentucky. The dog bite statute makes owners responsible for the actions of their dogs. Owners of vicious animals often times live in rental properties and don't maintain insurance or have sufficient assets to compensate individuals who their dogs bite. The Kentucky Supreme court has addressed this problem and created case law potentially making landowners (landlords) responsible for the actions of their tenants' dogs, if the landlord was aware their tenant had the dog.
Therefore, if you have been bitten by a dog you should review our Kentucky dog bite page and consult with our dog bite attorneys to determine if you may be entitled to reimbursement and other compensation for your injures.
