DOG BITE DAMAGES AND COMPENSATION

Dogs are great. We love dogs! But bad dogs -or good dogs with bad owners? That’s bad. No one likes that.

Suffering a dog bite is a painful and often traumatizing event. Fortunately, Kentucky law is designed to protect dog bite victims and hold the owner accountable.

When a dog bites a person in Kentucky, the injured party can collect full compensation from the owner’s homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy, or from the dog owner himself, if he does not have insurance.

In this state, the dog owner is strictly liable for damage caused to any person, other dogs, livestock, or other property by their dog.

The definition of a dog owner in Kentucky can sometimes even mean a landlord who allows his tenants to keep dogs on their property.

In the case of dog bites, the law is very firmly on the side of the victim. But, without expertise on the issue, you may miss out on damages you didn’t know you could get.

Let AR White Law help with your case, and ensure you receive all the damages you deserve.
