Premises liability refers to the responsibility that property owners have to keep their lands safe for visitors and other invitees. When an individual is injured on their property, and they could have reasonably taken measures to prevent this injury, then they may be held liable and responsible for the injuries sustained by the victim. This liability transcends physical obstacles, and can include such situations as dog attacks. A dog owner has the responsibility to keep their animal restrained, and to provide reasonable warning of the danger that the animal could present.
If you have been injured in a dog attack, where you were not reasonably warned of the danger, and the dog owner did not take reasonable steps to restrain the animal, you may be able to collect damages for your injury. You can file a personal injury lawsuit against this individual to pursue monetary compensation for the various financial hardships that you may have incurred along with this injury.
Dog Bite Injury Compensation
Victims of dog bites and attacks can pursue financial compensation for any physical and emotional damages associated with the event.
Financial issues that your dog bite claim can account for include:
- Costs of recovery, including surgeries, doctor’s visits, physical therapy, etc.
- Psychological treatment for any trauma you’ve suffered
- Medication
- Loss of wages
- Future loss of wages
- Emotional distress, such as if the dog caused any permanent disfigurement
If you have been bitten by a dog, it is important that you seek medical care immediately. A doctor can assess the physical damage done to you, and have these injuries documented to help your claim.
