About Dog Attacks
Most people never expect that man’s best friend could be capable of causing serious injury. The truth is, some dogs are vicious and when they attack, they can cause serious injuries.
When a dog attacks a person, the victim may be able to file a personal injury claim against the owner of the dog. The owner then become the negligent party for not controlling their animal. In some instances, it may be illegal to have your dog out without a leash. The leash law is not effective everywhere but is implemented for the purpose of avoiding dog attacks.
Sometimes the owner will claim that the dog bit victim instigated the attack in some way by provoking the dog. These situations will fall into the realm of comparative negligence. It will be evaluated what percentage of fault the victim was liable for their own injuries and what percentage of fault the owner was on behalf of their dog.
