Proving Your Case

To hold an owner liable, your attorney must show:

The person owns the dog

You were not trespassing or committing a crime

You did not provoke the animal

You sustained injuries from the bite

We’ll also investigate whether the owner knew the dog had a history of biting or was violating leash laws at the time.

Homeowner’s Insurance & Delivery Workers

In most cases, the dog owner’s homeowner’s insurance covers the settlement — the owner pays nothing out of pocket. This often makes it easier to pursue a claim even against someone you know.

Delivery drivers (USPS, UPS, FedEx) bitten on the job may have two separate claims:

Workers' compensation for wages and medical care

A civil claim against the dog owner for additional losses
