First and foremost, owners are responsible for the dangerous actions of their dogs. Dog owners must follow the leash laws and dog bite laws set forth by their place of residence or any other place that they may visit.
Whenever a dog bite claim is filed, this does not necessarily mean that you will be retaliating against the dog owner. This may come as a relief to those who have been injured by a dog owned by a family member or friend. In most cases, the attorney will take action against the insurance company that provides renters or homeowner’s insurance coverage to the dog owner.
Close to five million people are attacked by dogs each year in the United States.
