Dog owners have a duty to restrain and exercise reasonable care when it comes to their dogs. This means that if the owner is aware of the dog’s unsafe behavior, then they must take extra steps to make sure others are safe from the dogs. If a dog has previously bitten in aggression, then the dog has been declared “dangerous” and this shows a clear pattern of vicious behavior. Dog owners who fail to warn others or to properly restrain a “dangerous” dog will be liable for your injuries and costs.

If left untreated, a dog bite can cause infection and lead to severe bone and muscle damage. Some victims are left with catastrophic injuries that affect them for the rest of their lives. Make sure that you are able to afford high-quality care by holding the negligent dog owners responsible.
