Dog bites are dangerous, painful, and costly. Chances of being
bitten by a dog in America are 2% every year. That means that every
40 seconds, in the US, someone seeks medical attention for a dog
bite. If a dog has bitten you or someone close to you, you may be
entitled to compensation. It is important to consult with an
attorney as soon as possible after the dog bite in order to preserve
your rights in this matter.
Legal responsibility for damages resulting in these attacks by dogs
is generally considered under Personal Injury Law and referred to as
torts. A tort is a wrongful injury to a person or his or her
property. Personal injury laws are enacted to prevent harm or to
compensate for harm to a person or property. That harm or injury may
consist of physical injury, mental injury or financial injury. The
physical injury due to a dog or animal bite may even be secondary to
the mental injury to a person who has been victimized to the extent
of permanent scarring and disfigurement. Medical bills and loss of
income due to dog bite injuries are examples of financial harm. Law
recognizes a civil wrong, or a tort, as grounds for a lawsuit for
damages or monetary compensation to injured parties. Damages may
include both present and future expected losses.
Considerations for actual liability in dog bite lawsuits are:
- The owner of a dog or an animal is strictly liable for damage
resulting from the animal's trespass on land owned by the victim of
a bite.
- The owner of a dog or an animal shown to be a prior danger is
strictly liable for the injuries caused by the dog or animal. The
owner of a wild animal is strictly liable for harm arising from the
dangerous characteristic of wild animals of its class.
Related Personal Injury laws may also apply to your particular dog
bite injury case. For example:
Workers Compensation: These laws are different in that they are
designed to compensate employees who are injured or disabled on the
job, possibly without the need for litigation. Benefits for
dependents are also provided under these laws. Your attorney can
advise you regarding these laws in your case. At times, a Workers
Compensation application may preclude a civil suit for a dog bite
injury.
Wrongful death: Fatal injuries due to negligence or other liability
may bring compensation to the heirs or estate of a dog bite victim.
Many people have insured their property or business against the
possibility of liability for a dog bite injury. Certain homeowner's
or rental policies and many business policies in particular include
information on coverage for dog bite injuries. The Workmen's
Compensation Statutes certainly address this problem and danger of
dog attacks on the job or in job related capacities.
Prior to accepting an insurance settlement, it is generally wise to
speak with a personal injury lawyer to evaluate your situation and
to ensure that your interests are protected. Most personal injury
attorneys provide free initial consultations and most will only be
paid if you win your case and receive a judgment. Most frequently,
personal injury attorneys will receive a percentage of the
settlement awarded to you. Legal advice can save you time, trouble
and money and can ensure that you are treated fairly.
