You should not hesitate to take legal action with a skilled litigator on your side who refuses to settle for less than what you deserve.

Understanding Kentucky’s Dog Bite Law

When it comes to dog bites, Kentucky operates based on a “strict liability” rule, which means the dog’s owner is strictly liable for the injuries it causes – even if the dog has never shown aggressive behavior or tendencies in the past. The injuries sustained from a dog bite or attack can require extensive medical treatment that includes a number of hospital visits and, in cases of severe scarring, cosmetic surgery.

Some of the injuries associated with dog bites can include:

• Permanent tissue and nerve damage
• Infection
• Internal bleeding
• Puncture wounds
