Dog Bite Lawyer
Did You Know?
Ten to 20 people die every year as a result of dog bites in the U.S. By far, the majority of the victims are children.
Topics to Discuss With Dog Bite Lawyer:
In most states a victim can recover compensation from a dog owner because of the state's "dog bite statute." Generally, dog bite statutes make a dog owner responsible for all bites, even if the dog never bit anyone before. The fact that a dog does not have prior attacks, or that the owner has no awareness of a dog's viciousness is not determinative in a Dog Bite lawsuit.
Sometimes a victim can recover compensation from people who, at first glance, might appear to have little to do with the dog. For example, a landlord might be liable if he knows that a tenant keeps a dog that bites people, provided that the landlord has the legal power to get rid of the tenant. Or a day care center might be liable for permitting someone with a large, aggressive dog to allow it onto the premises.
