If You Have Been Injured...What You Need To Know




What You Need To Know
Dog Bites

If you have been bitten, attacked or injured by a dog, the owner or keeper of the dog may be liable for your injuries so long as you were not committing a trespass or other tort and you were not teasing, tormenting or abusing the dog.  If a child, under the age of seven years, is bitten or injured by a dog, it is presumed that the minor child was not committing a trespass or other tort or teasing, tormenting or abusing the dog.  Teasing, tormenting or abusing the dog means that you intended, by your conduct, to actually tease, torment or abuse the dog.  You may be entitled to compensation for injuries suffered as the result of an actual dog bite or injuries resulting from being attacked, chased or knocked over by a dog.  Generally, such a claim is covered by the homeowner's insurance policy of the owner or keeper of the dog.
