When people reach out to us, they often wonder about money. You may have medical bills, be missing work, or face emotional harm after a frightening dog attack. While we cannot give you an exact number right away, we can look at key things that shape your claim:
In Kentucky, KRS 258.235 says the dog owner is usually strictly liable, meaning they must pay for the damages if their dog bites you. We will talk to witnesses, examine medical records, and use photos or videos to support your story. Then we will fight for a fair settlement.
Lexington is a city filled with neighborhoods, parks, and busy streets. Dogs are everywhere, from front yards to local dog parks like Masterson Station Park or Wellington Dog Park. People often walk their dogs around the University of Kentucky campus, near downtown, or along the many sidewalks in neighborhoods such as Chevy Chase and Beaumont. While many owners keep their dogs under control, bites can still happen when owners fail to leash their pets or when dogs get out of their enclosures.
Sometimes, children get bitten while visiting a friend’s house. A dog might also escape from a yard and run into a public street, biting someone walking by.
No matter where it happened in Lexington, Maze Law Offices wants to help. Our Lexington personal injury attorneys know Kentucky’s dog bite liability laws, plus local rules about leashes and dog safety. We use that knowledge to support your claim and get fair payment for your injuries. We also stay up to date on local news about dog-related incidents to see if there is a pattern that might help your case.
In Kentucky, dog bite claims often rely on KRS 258.235, which sets a rule known as strict liability. That means the owner is usually on the hook if a dog bites you. It does not matter if the dog has never bitten anyone before.
At Maze Law Offices, we investigate your story carefully. We talk to any witnesses, check if the dog was running loose, and look for proof you were allowed to be where you were. We want to show that you did not cause the attack so that the dog owner’s liability is as clear as possible. We work to secure fair compensation for your injuries, scars, medical expenses, emotional distress, and other effects of the bite.
Every story is different. Some dog bites are minor, while others are life-threatening. Regardless of the severity, Kentucky law says you may have a claim against the owner if someone else’s dog harmed you. Maze Law Offices wants to learn about your case and see how we can help. We do not shy away from tough cases and treat every client with respect and compassion.
Fighting against insurance adjusters can be difficult after a dog bite. They often try to lower your claim or suggest you did something wrong. They might say you provoked the dog or you were trespassing. They can also push you to settle fast and accept less money than you may deserve. This is especially true if the dog owner’s insurance wants to close the case quickly.
At Maze Law Offices, we deal with insurance companies every day. We understand their tricks and how to respond.
We gather photos, statements, and medical reports to show what happened. If an insurer questions your actions, we seek proof that you did nothing wrong. We also check if the dog owner had a duty (like using a leash) and failed to meet it.
Because Kentucky allows negligence, the insurer might argue you share blame. Our job is to push back on that claim. We do not let them pin the blame on you. By having a Lexington dog bite attorney on your side, you have someone who can stand up to the insurance company. We will work to get you an amount that truly reflects your losses, pain, and stress.
You may have already seen a doctor if your injuries were severe. That is good. Even if you received medical help, there are still important steps to boost your claim:
These steps do not guarantee a certain outcome, but they make it easier to build a strong case. Our lawyers know how to gather proof, negotiate with insurance companies, and protect your rights under Kentucky law. The sooner you talk to us, the better we can help. Typically, personal injury claims, including dog bites, have a one-year statute of limitations, so acting quickly is always best.
No. Our firm works on a contingency fee basis. That means we only get paid when we get you a settlement or court award. You do not pay us a fee if we do not win your case. We also give you a free first talk to learn about your situation. You have nothing to lose by calling us. We believe that people hurt by dog bites deserve a chance to seek justice, no matter their financial situation. Our approach is to stand with you and guide you at each step.
We want you to focus on getting better, not on legal bills. Our goals are aligned because we only earn our fee when you get money. We want to work hard to get you the best outcome. If you have any concerns about costs, please contact us. We will explain everything plainly so you know what to expect.
It can be awkward if the dog owner is someone you know. You might worry that you will harm your relationship if you make a claim. However, remember that dog owners often have insurance (like homeowners’ or renters’ insurance) that covers dog bites. Any settlement or award typically comes from that policy, not their pocket. We handle your case with care, so you can still seek the money you need to recover without necessarily ruining personal ties. We focus on helping you pay for your medical care and other losses.
The best time to call a lawyer is as soon as you can after the bite. Evidence can disappear quickly. Witnesses might forget details. The dog’s owner might fix a broken fence or disclaim earlier statements. Talking to Maze Law Offices immediately lets us gather fresh proof and talk to anyone who saw the attack. We can also advise you on dealing with insurance adjusters or the dog owner, so you do not accidentally say something that hurts your case.
Even if you have waited a while, it is still worth calling us. We will see if you are still within the time limit to file a claim. We do not judge you for waiting. We know you might have been busy with hospital visits or unsure of what to do. The sooner you call, the more options we have to help.
