Linden Dog Bite Lawyer

Personal Injury Attorney Represents Dog Bite Victims in Linden, New Jersey

Under N.J.S.A. § 4:19-16 (New Jersey’s “Dog-Bite” statute), the injured person must show three elements for the owner to be liable:

In New Jersey, a dog owner is liable for any injuries caused by his or her pet. Dog owners are held strictly liable. Strict liability means that regardless of whether the owner is at fault, the dog’s owner is still responsible for the injuries caused by their pet.

Exceptions to Dog Bite Liability in Linden, NJ

However, a few situations exist where the dog owner may not be obligated to pay damages to the bite victim. These situations include when:

Special treatment is given to situations in which the victim bears some blame for the bite. In these cases, the victim can only recover damages from the owner if his fault was less than the fault of the owner. Damages will then be assigned based on the percentage of fault belonging to both the victim and the dog owner. This type of situation will be evaluated upon the totality of the circumstances surrounding the bite.
