Because the regional hospital campus sits in Edgewood, ambulances, staff shift changes and patient visitors add to normal suburban traffic on the roads around Medical Village Drive. Many Edgewood residents also commute to Cincinnati on I-75. In neighborhoods like these, not every injury is a car crash. Dog bites, falls on poorly maintained property and injuries to children are common reasons Edgewood families call us. Those claims often have a shorter, one-year deadline in Kentucky, so timing matters.
Kenton Circuit and District Courts are based at the Kenton County Justice Center, 230 Madison Ave., Covington, KY 41011 (Kentucky Court of Justice county listing). Kenton County also has a second county seat in Independence.
Kentucky holds dog owners responsible for injuries their dogs cause. Under KRS 258.235, an owner is liable for damage the dog causes, without the old “one free bite” rule. Homeowner’s or renter’s insurance often pays these claims. Bites to children’s faces and hands can need surgery and leave scars, so photographs and treatment records are important. Many Kentucky personal injury claims outside of car crashes have a one-year deadline. See our dog bite lawyer page.
For an Edgewood car crash, PIP pays first (how PIP works) and the claim deadline is generally two years (KRS 304.39-230). For dog bites and property injuries, plan on one year under KRS 413.140. Kentucky’s pure comparative fault rule applies to both.
Whether you were hurt in a crash on Dudley Road or bitten by a neighbor’s dog, the steps are similar. Get checked out, even for a bite that seems minor, and keep the records from St. Elizabeth Edgewood or your doctor. Photograph injuries as they heal. For a dog bite, write down the owner’s name and address and whether animal control was called. Then bring it all to your meeting with an Edgewood, KY personal injury lawyer, and we’ll take it from there.
