Can I Sue a Kentucky Business for an Injury if There Was a Warning Sign?

In the attached video, attorney Andre Regard addresses a common question: Can you sue a business in Kentucky for an injury if they had a warning sign posted? The short answer is yes. A warning sign does not automatically exempt a business from liability if their negligence contributed to your injury. Understanding the nuances of these cases is crucial if you or a loved one has been harmed on commercial property.

A warning sign serves as a notice that a potential hazard exists, but it does not absolve a business of its duty to maintain a safe environment. If a business fails to take reasonable precautions to prevent harm, they can still be held responsible. For instance, if a store places a “Caution: Wet Floor” sign but does not take steps to clean up a spill in a timely manner, they may still be liable for injuries sustained due to their inaction. Similarly, if a business posts a warning about animal activity but knowingly keeps a dangerous animal on the premises, they could still be held accountable if that animal causes harm.

If you were injured at a business in Kentucky, even if there was a warning sign or you signed a waiver, you may still have a valid claim. The key factor in these cases is negligence—whether the business took appropriate steps to mitigate risks. Seeking legal guidance as soon as possible can help determine the strength of your case and what compensation you may be entitled to.
