How Do Dog Bites Happen?

Dog bites can come from the most unexpected places. A dog may have gotten loose and caused injuries to others. A neighbor’s dog may have suddenly become aggressive and bite a person. A dog owner may have failed to secure their dog, which led to the harm of others. When a dog has harmed someone, it is important to receive legal representation.

What Is Massachusetts’ “Strict Liability” For Dog Bites?

It is important to understand who is liable for a dog bite. Massachusetts follows strict liability laws. Strict liability means that dog owners may be held liable for any injuries their dog causes to a person or property, regardless of the dog’s prior history of attacks or known dangerousness.

Dog owners may not, however, be liable for injuries or property damage if the person who suffered damages was trespassing. Furthermore, the dog owner may not be liable if a person was injured as a result of teasing or provoking a dog.
