Varellas & Varellas PLLC operates from offices in Lexington, Louisville, and Covington, Kentucky, providing specialized representation for dog bite victims. The firm explains that unlike the common law “one free bite” rule, Kentucky statutes impose strict liability on dog owners for injuries caused by their pets. According to their website, dogs bite 4.7 million people annually in the U.S., with 800,000 requiring medical treatment and approximately 16 fatalities each year. Children ages 5-9 face the highest risk, accounting for half of all dog bite victims. The attorneys cite Kentucky Code 258.235(4), which makes dog owners responsible for all damages their pets cause to persons, livestock, or property. Additionally, homeowners insurance typically covers these incidents, so victims needn’t hesitate to pursue claims against friends or family members. The firm references CDC data identifying the most dangerous dog breeds, with pit bull-types and Rottweilers topping the list. For a free consultation about a dog bite case, victims can contact the firm at 877-634-1519 before the statute of limitations expires.

Operating from Indianapolis, Lee Cossell & Feagley, LLP offers expert guidance on the intersection of dog leash laws and Indiana’s dog bite liability standards. The firm explains that while Indiana has no statewide leash law, municipal regulations like Indianapolis Code require owners to keep dogs on leashes or properly confined in public places. They clarify that Indiana follows a modified “one bite rule,” meaning dog owners typically cannot be held liable unless they knew or should have known their dog was likely to bite or act aggressively. However, the attorneys emphasize important exceptions: owners of known aggressive dogs must take reasonable precautions, municipal leash laws can establish negligence, and postal workers, police officers, and law enforcement officers receive special protection under state law with strict liability applying regardless of a dog’s history. Led by attorneys Nathaniel Lee, Marcia J. Cossell, Robert Feagley, Laura Crowley, Jennifer Lee, and Raegi Shirley, the firm invites dog bite victims to contact them at 855-NATE-LEE (855-628-3533) for a free consultation to evaluate potential claims.
