Dog Bites

As a rule the dog's owner is required to pay for the scarring and disfigurement, pain and suffering, and all medical bills and lost wages associated with dog bites. It is impossible to avoid liability even by attempting to show that the dog's owner obeyed all laws, acted reasonably, and did not know the dog was capable of biting. No doubt, the owner's state of mind and freedom from negligence are irrelevant because liability is based on ownership of the dog.
