Who is Liable for Dog Bite Injuries?

In many cases, the owner of the dog may be held responsible for the injuries caused by their pet. However, liability may depend on the specific circumstances surrounding the attack. Our attorneys will thoroughly investigate your case to determine:

  • Whether the dog had a history of aggression or biting
  • If the owner was negligent in controlling or restraining the dog
  • If the attack occurred on private property, in a public space, or in another specific environment
  • Whether local leash laws or breed restrictions were violated

We will pursue all possible avenues of liability to ensure you receive fair compensation for your pain, suffering, and medical costs.
