As explained by LawInfo in the article “Who Is Responsible for a Dog Bite?” determining liability in a dog bite case depends on state laws and the details of the incident. In strict liability states, dog owners are automatically responsible for injuries caused by their pets, regardless of prior behavior. Other states follow a “one-bite rule,” which holds owners liable only if they knew or should have known the dog had aggressive tendencies.
Landlords, caretakers, or property managers may also share responsibility under certain conditions. Proving who is legally at fault requires reviewing local statutes, gathering evidence, and assessing whether negligence contributed to the attack. Legal representation ensures victims receive fair compensation while protecting the rights of responsible parties.
