Kentucky State Dog Bite Laws:
In Kentucky, dog bites are governed by a strict liability statute that assigns all liability to the owner for damages caused by his/her dog when the dog bites or injures a person, as long as the injured person is lawfully present on the dog owner's property at the time of the bite or injury. A person is considered to be lawfully on the owner's property if he or she was invited to be there, such as a friend or a repair person. A trespasser is not considered a lawful guest of the owner.
If the courts determine a dog to be vicious, special care must be taken by the owner in how the dog is confined. When the dog is on the owner's property, the dog must be properly confined in a locked enclosure or kennel run with a secured top. When the dog is not confined, and this is only allowed to take the dog to the veterinarian or to turn the dog in to an animal shelter, the owner must properly restrain and muzzle the dog.
