Recovering Compensation for New York Dog Attack Victims
Dogs are renowned for providing love and companionship to people of all ages and backgrounds, rightfully earning them the cherished title of “man’s best friend”. However, it’s important to bear in mind that even exceptionally well-behaved dogs may bite in certain situations. While numerous dog bites result in minor injuries, certain incidents can cause not only significant physical harm but also mental and emotional distress. These attacks are particularly dangerous for children, the elderly, and the disabled, who might experience catastrophic injuries. In such situations, seeking guidance from an experienced attorney is crucial to understanding your rights to compensation.
h3 THE DOG’S BREED DOES NOT MATTER!
In New York, the victim attacked or bitten by a dog must show that the dog had a vicious propensity and that the dog owner had prior knowledge of that dog’s vicious propensity. In other words, you have to prove that the dog had vicious interactions in the past. This is normally done through veterinary records referencing prior incidents or complaints by the dog owner, as well as eyewitness testimony regarding the dog’s prior vicious propensity.
