What are the dog bite laws in New Jersey?

New Jersey takes dog bites seriously, which is why they have enacted dog bite laws in place to protect victims who have been hurt because of a dog attack or bite. The law says that even if the dog has no prior records of biting anyone, the dog owner can still be held responsible for injuries to the victim as long as:

  • The dog bite or attack happened on public property.
  • The attack occurred on private property, and the victim was there legally.

You may be able to hold the dog owner responsible for your medical bills if you had to seek medical attention as a result of a dog bite. Moreover, if the owner of the dog is determined to be entirely at fault, he or she may also be held liable for lost wages and other expenses that were contracted as a result of the dog attack.

In many instances, the dog owner’s homeowners insurance policy will compensate the injured party. If the dog owner failed to file a claim with their insurance company, you will need to retain the services of a knowledgeable and experienced New Jersey personal injury attorney right away. Our firm will do its best to ensure you obtain the compensation you deserve. Reach out to us today to get started.
