- Traffic Violations. Once your attorney establishes that there was a duty of care owed to the plaintiff by the defendant, the next step is establishing whether or not the defendant breached their duty of care. A breach of duty can occur in a variety of ways, and again, this must be examined based on the type of incident that occurred. For example, drivers can breach the duty they owe others in various ways, including operating while impaired or distracted or engaging in reckless driving behaviors. Property owners or operators can breach their duty of care by failing to alert guests to known hazards.
- MisdemeanorsFederal law defines dietary supplements as “products taken by mouth that contain a dietary ingredient.” Under this definition, these substances can be pills, vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, or other substances that are ingested. Dietary supplements are classified as food and regulated by the federal Food and Drug Administration. The dangers of these drugs are so profound that Kentucky has a law against trafficking dietary supplements. A first offense is a Class A misdemeanor while a second or subsequent offense is a Class D felony.
- HomicidePlaintiffs were parents of a nine-year-old boy who was killed when he was struck by a pickup truck just after he had gotten off a school bus. The pickup truck driver was convicted of reckless homicide as a result of the wreck. A suit was filed against the pickup truck driver and the bus driver who allowed the boy to get off the bus and cross the road without first making sure it was safe.
- Premises Liability. Premises liability incidents arise when property owners fail to take adequate steps necessary for guest protection. Slip and fall incidents are some of the most common premises liability claims, but these incidents arise in a variety of ways.
