Dangerous Dogs in New York

New York has its own rules when considering owner liability for injuries that are caused by their animals.  There may be several different laws that can come into place in the event of a dog bite injury/lawsuit.  New York’s dog bite statute for dangerous dogs addresses the potential liability of an owner when their dog injures another person.

What is a Dangerous Dog?

A dangerous dog can be any dog that attacks and injures/kills another person or pet for no reason.  A dog that behaves in such a way that a reasonable personal would believe that the dog poses an imminent threat of serious physical injury or death, may also be considered a dangerous dog.

Is the Owner Liable for Damages in New York Dog Bite Cases?

Under New York’s dog bite statute, an owner may be held liable for all medical bills acquired by the injured person for injuries caused by the dog.  If the dog is found to be dangerous, even if the owner took the precautions to control or restrain the dog, the owner may have to pay or reimburse the injured person for medical bills.  The injured person may also be entitled to other damages if the dog’s owner was negligent.
