Dog bites can cause serious physical injuries and lasting emotional trauma. If you or a loved one has been attacked by a dog, understanding your legal rights is critical to building a strong claim and recovering the compensation you deserve..
Who Is Liable in a Dog Bite Case?
In most cases, dog owners are legally responsible for the actions of their pets. When a dog bites someone, the owner can be held liable for the resulting injuries and damages. In some cases, other parties—such as dog handlers, caretakers, or shelters—may also be held accountable, depending on the circumstances.
What to Do After a Dog Bite
- Seek immediate medical attention – Dog bites often lead to infection, nerve damage, and scarring.
- Document the injuries – Take clear photos of the bite and any visible wounds.
- Collect information – Get the dog owner’s contact details and the names of any witnesses.
- Report the bite – Notify local animal control or authorities, especially if the dog is unrestrained, aggressive, or the owner is unknown.
