As highlighted by LawInfo in their article “Dog Bite Lawsuits”, dog bites affect millions of Americans each year, often causing serious injuries and emotional distress. Many states impose strict liability laws, holding dog owners responsible for attacks regardless of negligence. Others apply the “one bite rule,” which requires proof the dog showed prior aggression before the owner can be held liable.

Victims of dog bites may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. Legal defenses can include provocation or trespassing, making it crucial to have experienced representation.
