Kansas State Dog Bite Laws:
While Kansas does not have a specific dog bite statute, dog owners may still be liable for injuries caused by his or her dog under general common law negligence principles. As such, if the owner did not exercise reasonable control over the dog, and the dog injures a person, the owner may be liable. However, if the dog is not known to be vicious, the will probably not be found liable for damages caused by the dog if the dog unexpectedly injures another person. Furthermore, an owner may be subject to liability if the owner knew, or had reason to know, that the dog had a dangerous propensity or tendency which caused the injury. Finally, each municipality may enact local ordinances regulating dangerous dogs.
