Dog Bite Lawsuit

Have you been attacked by a dog and need help filing a dog bite lawsuit claim?  Dog attack statistics report that most attacks are caused by dogs that the victim is familiar with and knows.  The legal rights of a dog bite victim depend on state, city, or jurisdiction where the attack took place.  Dog bite laws vary from state to state, within states, and in some areas, certain known breeds, such as pit-bulls, may have strict guidelines which prohibit them from being in public areas or require the owners of certain breeds to carry special insurance.

IIn most states, a victim can recover compensation from a dog owner because of the state's dog bite statutes.  According to the statutes, a dog owner is responsible for all bites, even if the dog never bit anyone previously. 

Dog attack statistics report that regardless of the varying state laws, a victim can recover compensation due to the following:

  • a person who violated a leash law or a dog bite law prohibiting dogs from, "running at large"
  • a person who kept a dog with the knowledge that the dog had a history of injuring or attacking people

Dog bite statistics show that a substantial amount of dog attacks are perpetrated by family or known dogs. Nevertheless, sometimes a victim can recover compensation from people who, at first glance, might appear to have little to do with the dog. For instance, a property owner may be responsible if he knew that a tenant kept a dog that is prone to biting people, if the property owner had the ability to remove the tenant.
