New York Dog Bite Attorney

An animal like an aggressive dog cannot be held responsible for a dog attack or dog bite incident - very simply, dangerous dogs are animals with no understanding of right and wrong. However, an aggressive dog's owner is responsible for his or her pet's behavior. If you have been bitten or attacked by an aggressive dog, the owner of the dog in question may be responsible for your medical bills and other damages.

Here are a few questions to ask if you have been bitten by someone else's dangerous dog:

· Was the dog fenced or leashed at the time of the attack, or was it roaming free?

· Had the dog in question been aggressive before?

· Was the owner aware of this aggressive behavior?

· Had the dog in question bitten a human or attacked another animal in the past?
