When someone suffers an injury due to a dog bite incident, whether it’s a child or an adult there are several different components to that injury. There are the medical bills that are incurred. There are the physical wounds or scars that are incurred. There are also the emotional scars or trauma; especially with children there is a emotional element to the claim involving nightmares. A fear of dogs, a fear of being around dogs and those are compensable injuries in a dog bite injury claim.

In Massachusetts the number one misconception that people have about dog bite injuries is that a dog gets one free bite before you can make a claim. That is not true in Massachusetts, well it may be true in other states we are a strict liability state here. If that dog bites you it only has one bite at which time you are entitled to make a claim against the dog owner or the dog controller for the pain and suffering from the bite.

Because most dog bite attacks are done by a dog that a person does not know, the number one mistake that people make is to not get the name of the owner or the person that is in control of that dog. Once that dog is taken away from the scene, if you don’t have the name of the dog or the registration number of the tag or the person that is in control or owns that dog, there is going to be no way you are going to be able to make a claim from the damages that come from that.

There are two potential parties that are involved in a dog bite case. The first is the owner of the dog. The second is the person that is in control of the dog at the time of the dog bite attack. The person that is in control could be somebody that is walking the dog for monetary or non monetary purposes. Both those parties, the owner and the person that is in control of the dog are potentially responsible for that dog bite.
