What you should know about animal bites

Recovering damages for dog bites does not necessarily require a showing of negligence. Although the defense may try to raise issues of tormenting or teasing the dog in an effort to reduce the liability of the dog owner. Even if the dog has no prior history of biting or attacks, a plaintiff may still be able to recover compensation.

We know that a lot of these mishaps happen within families and between neighbors. The person’s homeowners insurance pays money to cover the cost of a dog bite case, just as it covers slip and fall cases. Insurance policies may also have a provision that allows a plaintiff to get money for medical expenses even before the case is over.

If you are attacked by something other than a dog—a ferret, snake, alligator, spider, horse, cat or bird, for example—then negligence law applies. In those cases, you do have to prove that there was a failing on the owner’s part to adequately supervise their pet.
