Establishing Liability
Proving liability in a dog attack case involves various factors. Our legal experts will thoroughly investigate the incident, gathering evidence to demonstrate negligence on the part of the dog owner. Some key factors considered when establishing liability include:
- Previous History: A dog with a history of aggressive behavior or previous attacks may indicate negligence on the part of the owner.
- Violated Leash Laws: If the owner failed to adhere to leash laws or regulations, it can strengthen the case for liability.
- Lack of Proper Training: Insufficient training can contribute to aggressive behavior in dogs, making the owner liable for any resulting harm.
