When a dog bites it is a traumatic event, especially for a child, which may result in serious injury. Multiple deaths are reported each year as a result of the most vicious dog attacks. Often a dog bite will result in permanent scarring, nerve damage and a significant risk of infection. Many times there is psychological harm that lasts well beyond the physical injury.
The owner of a dog is liable for damages resulting from a bite or attack by the dog on another person or domestic animal.
