What Are the Different Types of Dog Bite Law?
The three most common types of dog bite laws or statutes are the negligence law, the one-bite law, and the dog bite law holding the owner responsible for the dog’s actions. These laws, in varying degrees, hold the dog owner responsible for the dog’s actions. Some laws allow the police to prosecute the owner, but do not provide the basis for the victim to receive compensation for his injuries or pain and suffering. In many jurisdictions, a dog owner must be guilty of negligence or scienter, which means the owner was fully aware of the dog’s propensity for biting.
