Kennesaw Dog Bite Lawyer

Home » Areas We Serve » Kennesaw Personal Injury Lawyer » Dog Bite

Snarling dog bitingGetting bitten by a dog can be a frightening and painful thing for the person who is being bitten. However, it is a dog’s natural instinct to protect himself and the people he considers part of his “pack.” Georgia dog bite injury laws attempt to take both of these realities into account. According to Georgia’s Dog Bite Statute, which applies to other animals as well as dogs, there are three key requirements that must be met for a person to hold the owner of a dog or other animal legally responsible for their pet’s actions. They must prove that the animal is 1) vicious or dangerous, that 2) the owner was careless with the pet or allowed it to go “at liberty,” which resulted in the injury, and that 3) the injured person did not provoke the animal to act inappropriately.

The Georgia One Bite law holds the owner of a dog responsible for a bite or other injury if it can be reasonably concluded from the dog’s typical behavior that they may be inclined to bite. Behaviors that may indicate this tendency include previous bites, habitually barking at or chasing strangers without provocation, growling, jumping on people, fight training, or complaints from neighbors about the dog. When any of these conditions are present, dog owners are put on notice that their dog is considered potentially dangerous, and it is their responsibility to take the proper precautions to assure that their dog does not injure someone by biting or jumping on them.
