What’s the #1 Misconception People Have About Dog Bite Injuries?

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. While 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.
