Louisville Dog Bite Attorney

Were You or Your Child Bit by a Dog?

• Infection
• Skin lacerations
• Broken bones
• Muscle tears
• Nerve damage
• Permanent disfigurement
• Post-traumatic stress disorder
• Scarring

Kentucky Dog Bite Laws

Every state has its own laws regarding liability in dog bite cases. In the state of Kentucky, that law is tough on dog owners and favorable to victims of injury. Kentucky is a “strict liability” state, which means that—in the event of a dog bite—the owner of the dog is liable for all damages incurred by the victim. The Kentucky dog bite statute can be found in Section 258.235 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes.

Owners of dogs who attack in Kentucky could be liable for damages to:

• Individuals
• Livestock
• Property
• Pets
