Kimberly Deramos v. Anderson Communities, Inc.

Summary

The Kentucky Supreme Court reversed the circuit court’s dismissal of Kimberly Deramos’s negligence claim against Anderson Communities, holding that the complaint sufficiently alleged negligence and that the strict‑liability dog‑bite statute was inapplicable because Deramos never pleaded it. The Court applied de novo review of the motion to dismiss and emphasized liberal construction of pleadings in a notice‑pleading jurisdiction.
