Animal Attack Injury Cases
Contact Us Call Us Reviews
We love dogs. It’s a joy and privilege to own one. However, the fact remains that dogs are still animals, and we may never fully understand why some dogs attack.
According to an article published online by DogsBite.org, about 1,000 U.S. citizens require emergency care treatment for a dog bite injury every day. A dog bite injury is not something to take lightly. Vicious dog attacks can cause lacerations, bruising, puncture wounds, broken bones, permanent scarring, and deformity. The psychological damages are far more serious, as they can have long-term effects. The injuries are more horrific when the victims are children.
Strict Liability Law vs. “One Free Bite” Rule
Liability laws for dog owners differ from one state to another. Some states impose strict liability law on dog owners whose pets are involved in a dog bite accident. Other states impose a more lenient liability law, known as the “One Free Bite” rule.
“One Free Bite” Rule
A dog owner is only held liable if their dog has bitten before or the owner
knows of his dog’s aggressive tendencies. Under this rule, the owner
gets a free pass the first time their dog bites.
Strict Liability Law
Dogs do not get “one free bite.” The owner will be held liable
for injuries caused by their dog, regardless of if the dog has bitten
no one before or has shown no aggressive behavior towards a human being
in the past.
