Dog Bites
Laws are designed to protect a person from dog bites by making the owner strictly liable. However, there are significant issues associated with dog bite cases.
- Has the dog bitten anyone else in the past?
- Does the dog have a dangerous propensity?
- Does the dog owner have insurance coverage to pay for the loss?
- Is the dog carrying disease that may cause further injury?
- Was the bitten person on private property or public property?
The answers to these questions can make a significant difference in the outcome of a case.
Dog bites are sometimes the worst of injuries. Usually they cause significant skin damage and require extensive plastic or reconstructive surgery. Many victims of dog bites suffer from residual fear of animals and cannot cope well after a dog has mauled them. Many attacks are unprovoked, leaving the victim feeling that such an attack will occur again.
