Nevada Dog Bite Lawyer

Attacks by Dogs

Animal attacks can cause very serious and even life threatening injuries. Not only are animal attacks and dog bites painful, but they may result in scarring or permanent disfigurement. Hundreds of thousands of people are bitten by dogs in the United States each year. Unfortunately, a majority of dog bite and animal attack victims are children.

Nevada, unlike many other states, does not have a strict liability policy when it comes to animal attacks. Therefore, it is necessary to prove some type of fault on the part of the animal’s owner. Culpability may be proved by something as simple as failure to use a leash. An owner may also be at fault when he or she has knowledge that an animal has a propensity for violence. Additionally, an animal with a violent history would also make the owner liable for future attacks.

Animal attacks and dog bites can be shocking and traumatic for any victim, especially if the victim is a child. Dog bites may cause not only physical damage, but psychological and emotional damage as well, such as an irrational fear of dogs. If you or your child has been injured in an animal attack and you believe another party is responsible, you should contact an experienced lawyer today.
