People are often surprised to learn that this type of case deserves its own section. Dog bite injuries happened fairly often, unfortunately the person hurt is most likely a child. These cases often involve scars particularly to the face.

To be successful in a dog bite case you must prove the owner was negligent. This can be proved by showing that the owner had some notice that the dog would be aggressive and bite. It can be proved through previous actions of the dog or because the owner had a dangerous breed of dog. If an owner is not following the local leash law or other dogs regarding dogs, he can also be found negligent.
