How Dog Bite Liability Works
Many states impose strict liability on dog owners. Unlike states that give owners a free pass the first time their animal injures someone, strict liability means the owner is responsible regardless of the dog's prior behavior or history. Here is how that breaks down:
- The bite occurred. You were bitten or attacked by a dog.
- You were lawfully present. You were in a public place or lawfully on private property at the time.
- The owner is liable. Under strict liability laws, the owner is responsible for your injuries regardless of the dog's prior behavior or history.
Not all states follow strict liability rules. In some, an owner may only be held responsible if they knew their dog had shown prior aggression. An experienced attorney can evaluate the laws in your state and help you understand where your claim stands.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
Dog bite injuries can require emergency care, surgery, reconstructive procedures, and ongoing treatment for physical and psychological wounds. Victims may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses including future treatment and reconstructive surgery
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Emotional distress and psychological trauma
Do I Have a Case?
You may have a strong dog bite claim if:
- You were bitten or attacked by someone else's dog
- You were lawfully on public or private property when the attack occurred
- You required medical treatment for your injuries
- You suffered scarring, disfigurement, or lasting psychological effects
- The dog's owner disputes liability or their insurer has already contacted you
