Have you or a loved one been injured in a dog bite attack?
Dog bites are responsible for an alarming number of deaths and serious injuries in New York and nationwide each year. Children are most vulnerable, and many injuries and deaths are caused by multiple dogs attacking one person. Quite often, a dog owner’s negligence is responsible for dog bite injuries. Unrestrained dogs off the owner’s property account for a large proportion of attacks. Responsible dog owners should chose nonviolent breeds, provide their dogs with proper socialization, training, care and treatment, and neuter male dogs to prevent aggression. Dogs should be leashed and controlled at all times.
Most attacks by dogs are preventable, and in most cases of dog attacks, the owners are negligent. While states, counties and cities have varying laws on dog bites and attacks, most municipalities allow a victim to recover medical expenses if the dog owner’s negligence caused the attack, a dog owner violated leash law, or a dog owner kept a dog regardless of a violent history of attacking people. New York’s courts have required dog owners to pay for dog bite victims’ medical expenses, lost income and punitive damages.
Some of the more dangerous dog breeds responsible for attacks are:
- Pit Bull
- Rottweiler
- German Shepherd
- Husky (Alaskan Malamute)
- Doberman Pinscher
- Chow Chow
- Great Dane
- St. Bernard
- Akita
- Wolf hybrid
