Dog Bites Woman's Face

IN THE UNITED STATES, DOG BITES INJURE
ABOUT 1,000 PEOPLE EACH DAY
Dog bite laws vary from state to state. The massachusetts dog bite law dictates that the dog owner or party in control of a dog who causes injury or death to another person is strictly liable. This means the dog owners or parties in control of the dog are legally obligated to compensate that victim for the injuries and losses suffered in the attack. Notice that the law says the owner or caretaker is responsible for all injuries, not just those caused by a dog bite. If a dog attacks and injures someone without ever actually biting the person, the owner is responsible for these injuries.
