Holding Dog Owners Accountable
In New York, dog owners can be held liable for injuries caused by their pets if they knew—or should have known—about the dog’s dangerous tendencies. Compensation for victims may include:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering, especially in cases involving severe or lasting injuries
Sadly, children are often the victims of vicious dog attacks. We have extensive experience representing families in these cases, ensuring that children and their parents receive the support and compensation they need.
