Woman Recovers Damagers After Suffering Injuries From Dog Bite
Each year, over 5 million people suffer dog bite injuries. A recent case is a reminder that dog bite victims can make a claim to recover compensation for their injuries.
Janet H. was walking near her home when a pit bull left unattended by its owner bit her, causing severe injuries. Janet made a claim against the dog's owner, and a court awarded her damages. The court applied a rule most states follow: dog owners are liable for injuries their dog cases even if the dog hasn't hurt anyone before (provided the victim did not ignore warnings the dog might bite).
