Dog bite cases are controlled by statute in Kentucky. The dog bite statute makes owners responsible for the actions of their dogs. Many students in Richmond, Kentucky have dogs as pets. Most of these students live in rental units and previously victims who were bitten by dogs owned by these students had little recourse or chance of recovery. Now the Kentucky Supreme court has issued a ruling stating that landowners (landlords) can be considered the owner of a dog if the landlord was aware the tenant had the dog.
Therefore, if you have been bitten by a dog you should review our Kentucky dog bite page and contact one of our dog bite attorneys promptly so that we can discuss your individual case.
