Getting You Back to the Important Things in Your Life
While anyone can be the victim of a dog bite, children seem to suffer these injuries most often, which can be a very scary moment for any parent. There are certain breeds of dogs that are considered to have a vicious propensity. Children may not know of the dangers, but the dog's owner should. That is why dog owners are strictly liable for injuries caused by dangerous dogs.
If you or someone you love has been the victim of a dog bite involving a dog breed not known for its aggression, you still have recourse. In some cases, there has been a report, testimony or prior knowledge that the specific animal in question had bitten a human or other animal. In those cases, the owner is strictly liable. If not, you may still have rights, depending on the specifics of the situation.
