Who Can Be Held Responsible for a Dog Bite?

Even relatively minor dog bites can cause serious injury as a result of infection and scarring. More serious dog bites can cause nerve damage to the arms, hands, and legs. Children are the most frequent victims of a dog attacks and they usually suffer the most serious injuries to the face, head, and neck.

Animal owners are responsible for the conduct of their animals, although a jury will also look at the conduct of the person who was injured to see if they were partially at fault.

You may be able to bring a financial claim against the owner of the dog or animal, or against his or her "agent," such as a dog walker. If your apartment building has a policy of not allowing animals and yet one of your neighbors has a dangerous animal, you may be able to seek damages from the landlord if they knew and took no action.
