Dog bites, or other attacks can be devastating. Did you know the owner can be held liable when a dog attacks a person? Usually, such liability is covered by the homeowner's insurance policy of the dog owner. In dog bite cases, in order to prove liability for a dog attack, general negligence factors need to be reviewed and analyzed. Typically, if the owner knew, or should have known, that the dog was capable of biting or attacking a person, they could be held liable for the injuries. In addition, if the owner is in violation of any governmental regulation such as leash or containment laws, the liability could be even greater.
