Dog bite attacks are one of the most traumatizing incidents an individual can experience.  Because dogs have long been considered as one of the most loyal, loving, and faithful pets, it is incredibly shocking and upsetting when a dog turns and attacks.

Massachusetts Dog Bite Law

Massachusetts has a strict liability law when it comes to dog bites. In Massachusetts, the owner of a dog that attacks or bites another person will be held legally responsible for the victim’s injuries. Because Massachusetts has a strict liability law, you do not need to prove that the dog owner acted negligently, or that he/she had a prior knowledge of the dog’s predisposition to aggressive behavior. You will be awarded damages as long as you did not trespass on the dog owner’s property, or torment, abuse, or tease the dog. 

Compensation for Dog Bites

All dog bite victims in Massachusetts will be awarded damages upon successful resolution on their case. These damages are awarded to cover the cost of your lost wages, insurance costs, all current and future medical expenses, medication costs, physical therapy, counseling for your psychological trauma, and pain and suffering.
