There is no “strict liability” in PA regarding a dog attack. In order for a Pennsylvania dog bite injury attorney to have the legal basis to make a dog bite claim, they must be able to prove that the dog owner acted in a negligent fashion and/or violated the PA Dog Law. Negligence is a legal theory based upon someone’s duty to act in a certain way and their inability to do so.

The PA Dog Law is a Pennsylvania Statute that provides strict guidelines for PA dog owners to follow. The law does not allow exceptions or excuses. Dog owners must follow the requirements 100% of the time. Section 305 mandates that a dog owner must always confine their canine either:  1) in their premises, 2) on a leash, or 3) in a hunting situation under the specific control/command of the hunter. Your lawyer for dog bite attacks in Pennsylvania frequently uses that particular statute in prosecuting claims versus non-law abiding dog owners. Read More

The dog owner hopefully is either insured by a renter’s liability policy or a homeowner’s insurance policy. Their representative is 100% committed to solely representing the best interests of the dog owner and insurance carrier. The adjuster’s job performance is based upon two criteria:  1) how quickly they can settle the case and, 2) for how little money they can resolve the claim. The insurance company representative is not your friend, but your enemy.

On March 8, 2015, your PA dog attack attorney received a telephone call from a family whose 6 year son was attacked by a neighbor’s dog. This dog had allegedly bitten 4 people in the past. Unfortunately, it appears that no one had reported the negligent dog owner to the Monroe County Dog Warden.

On January 22, 2015, your Pennsylvania dog bite lawyer concluded a dog bite injury settlement by obtaining a $202,695.95 payout for an Albrightsville, PA teenager. In the spring of 2014, he had been skateboarding in Carbon County when 2 unrestrained pit bulls surrounded him. One of the pit bulls attacked the innocent victim, biting him multiple times on his back.

Doctors at Gnaden Huetten Memorial Hospital used over a dozen stitches to close the dog bite wounds.
