Dog Bite Lawyers

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), at least 4.5 million Americans experience dog attacks or bites every year. Approximately one in five of those victims become infected.

Unfortunately, many of these cases go unreported and uncompensated because most of the times, the victims are either related to or friends to the dog owner.

However, that shouldn’t be the case because even a minor dog bite can lead to severe infections and injuries that can prove costly in the long run. If you have suffered a dog bite, you should strongly consider seeking medical care and talking to one of our experienced dog bite lawyers to pursue a claim.

Dog Bite Attack: Who Is Liable?

Before you proceed to file a lawsuit for dog bite, your attorney will guide you through the dog bite laws in your state to establish whether you have a genuine claim. A majority of state laws in the US make dog owners liable when their pets attack or bite someone. This means that the owner will be held financially responsible even if he/she wasn’t negligent or did not know the dog could be dangerous. This is in accordance with the strict-liability statute enacted in many states. The theory behind the strict-liability statutes is that any individual who owns a dog must be responsible for any damage it causes, period. However, there are two exceptions to the strict-liability statute in some states. First, if the victim provoked the dog, then his/her own negligence may be taken into account while establishing damages. Second, if the dog attack happens on the owner’s property, they may not be held liable if there is an easily readable warning sign in an open place. Experienced dog bite lawyers will consider all these factors before filing a lawsuit for a dog bite.
