Dangerous Dog Charge Does Not Require Severe Injury

Posted on: September 25th, 2015  padog

A Chester County, PA dog attack victim was knocked down by an unleashed dog. She sustained a lacerated finger which required four weeks of physical therapy. The negligent dog owner was charged with PA Dog Law violations.

The Chester County trial judge found the dog owner guilty of failure to confine and harboring a dangerous dog. The Pennsylvania Superior Court affirmed this decision in Com. v. Baldwin, 767 A.2d 644 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2001). There is no requirement that the PA dog bite victim sustain a serious injury in order for a violation of Section 502-A of the PA Dog Law to be adjudicated.
