You Have Rights After a Dog Bite
People love dogs, and rightfully so. When properly trained and cared for, they can be lovable, affectionate companions. Unfortunately, dogs can quickly turn into defense and protective mode, and those changes are difficult to predict. Some dogs, especially larger, stronger dogs, have reputations for being more aggressive than others. Others, including rescue dogs, may have experienced circumstances their owners may not know that affect how they behave in certain situations. Whatever reason a dog decides to attack or bite an adult or child, the dog owner is liable, and the victim is entitled to be compensated for the physical and mental injuries they suffer.
