The Consequences Of Dog Bite Laws

164 Words1 Page

Every year, thousands of Americans are bitten by animals – most often dogs. In many cases, a person bitten by an animal may have a legal right to recover damages from the animal’s owner or another responsible party. Dog bite laws vary from state to state. In North Dakota, the victim of a dog bite must prove that the owner had opportunity to intervene and prevent the attack and in not doing so, injuries and harm were inflicted upon the victim. However, in cases of blatant trespassing or intentional provoking of the animal, the injured person is considered partly or totally responsible for the cause of their injury. Minnesota dog bite law states that if a dog attacks without provocation the owner is liable for damages to the person injured
