My dads Cane Corso recently escaped from the enclosed yard and bit someone that didn’t know the dog was fearful of random people and began to chase it down to bring him home but the dog ended up biting her. I’m scared that my dad will face severe charges because he is an older gentleman that truly loves his dogs and has spend thousands trying to get this particular dog trained. Thanks for the video, we’re hoping for the best.
Hi Barry, my dog bit someone. My dog jumped out the front door when i set the mail on the floor just inside the door. Fell to my knees and started to get up.I heard a strange high pitch noise and not sure if it was an animal or what. I walked toward the passenger side of the truck, I called my dog and she obeyed and came. I put her on her tie down. Then i heard loud crying on the other side of my truck and went around to find out who was crying. I found a woman sitting on my lawn and she said a dog bit her! I saw blood near her ankle. I asked if i could call the ambulance and she shook her head no. Called my neighbor to come over to help out. The gal who was bitten and i were very shook up. Once my neighbor got there she asked if we could call the aid car and the gal shook her head no. That's when i ran into the house to get a roll of paper towels. Ran back out to the two gals and grabbed a wad of paper towels for her to put on. My neighbored later told me that the gal called her brother and her neighbor but didn't get anyone. I asked her if she wanted me to give her a ride home. She agreed. She lives about 5 blocks away. She checked the bites and we noticed the bleeding had stopped. I brought her home and helped her to her front door. I told her i would be checking back with her and i told her i would pay any expenses she might have due to the bite. Now the gal who was bit and her brother filed a law suit with Morgan and Morgan. My homeowners insurance does not have a clause that covers dog bites. Can you either put me in touch with a personal liability lawyer or Ormond Beach,FL or Daytona Beach,FL? Also, i am thinking that loud screeching noise provoked my dog?
Hi, I don't know any defense attorneys I'm afraid. . . I only know attorneys on the other side who would represent the dog bite victim I'm sorry. I wish I could be more helpful....
I foster a 4 year old Pitbull mix….he has all shots, is neutered. A “friend” and his niece have been staying at my house. The 12 year old started feeding the dog from the table…..the dog stays tethered 99% of the time, indoors or out….he steals and chews items and or urinates on them. On May 24th a plate was left on the table by the child. Zooby stole a piece of meat off of the plate. Zooby bit Uncle when plate was being removed….2 bruises, no puncture or blood. 5 day Memorial Day weekend for Mr.L Tuesday morning Mr L argues about house safety rules with me. Threatens me with Attorneys!!!! Goes to ER the next day, Wednesday, May 31st, one full week after bite. Dog goes in quarantine….. I have home owners….but I have panic attacked.
Morning - just turn this over to your homeowner's insurance.... This is why you've been paying for it - in the event of an issue like this. It will all work out.
@@LawFull THANK YOU!! This has triggered panic attacks and flight or fight thoughts….I’ve considered selling my house….(that I worked hard for) and going to a different country! I know I’m high strung, so I try to live as quietly as possible…..
@@LawFull Farmers insurance agent says it won’t be covered….the dog is a mutt, but looks pit (small). They also said, I should have notified them, I had dogs…. I was advised to get rid of my dogs….and I will. He will get $4 or $5 thousand, no matter what. I was thinking of telling the court, I will sell my house, and leave the state as a plea bargain. I can get a one way ticket to Switzerland. Assisted death is legal This is sinking me mentally….
Thank you for this information. I will be reaching out to my renters insurance tomorrow. My dog was in my yard, he normally only barks at strangers and he has never been aggressive to anyone. Merely jump on the fence to bark and let his presence be known. My neighbor (who already doesn’t like my dogs) hired a new person to mow their lawn. The guy was warned to be cautious, but he proceeded to get right up against the fence and claims my dog bit him. The puncture wounds are too clean bit be a dog bite and could have very easily gashed his arm on the exposed chainlink at the top of the fence. He did go to the hospital that evening after working all day in the heat doing yard work. A report wasn’t filed with Animal Control until more than a week later, which I deem suspicious as well. He of course has filed charges with Animal control and is pursing compensation for medical bills and time off work.
Morning - what is your renter's ins saying? I would just turn it over to them and let them run with it. This is why you've been paying for renter's ins .....
Thanks for the worthwhile information. My question is-if the dog is in the temporary custody of someone other than the owner, is the custodian liable for that dog biting a person?
Hi, honestly don't know. That would be a state issue - you need to consult with a local attorney and/or check your state laws to find that answer. Sorry I can't be more help on that one. Barry
I'm in Virginia, my daughter had our dog by the collar and a lady walking the neighborhood thought it was a good idea to reach for my dog and pet it. because he is protective of the children he bit her, and now we are seating just waiting on word from the city or state attorney on how they are going to proceed. I am so stressed . All our neighbors say our dog isn't a violent dog and we have never seen this lady before . it just sucks
Just got bit by a large German Shepherd, while walking through my neighborhood, walking my own little dog; mine legally leashed, on the shoulder of a public road, where I have an expectation of relative safety, free from being mauled by stray animals. Full report with police, and went to receive urgent care from a doctor afterwards. Two large canine teeth puncture wounds in my right calf, all the while both husband, wife, and daughter owners watched, in their front yard, and screamed, as I was attacked, well off their property, and with their dog obviously not leashed. Need to confirm status on rabies vaccination, and need to find a good attorney for a well documented case. Thank you for your video, even though in this case, I am the one that received the damage, on the biting end, and looking for compensation on my physical and emotional injures.
I had a dog bite me in florida and my hand was broken and my back was broken L4 when I was shoved backwards. I can't work now because my back bone grew back deformed. I have a wife and two kids and we have been homeless because of it living in the woods on a sheet of plywood under a blanket that got soaked a couple of nights while the kids were trying to sleep. Instead of making laws to protect negligent people they need to do something so this never happens to anyone again!
My chihuahua terrier mix escaped from the yard and nipped my neighbor. No puncture. I offered to help and cover medical costs. She instead sued my for $1 million. I’m terrified.
@@rsls101 Ok. Where does it stand now? I mean, if you don't have the assets to pay her, and there's no insurance, I don't understand why they would file a lawsuit against you.
I appreciate your honesty in my case a lady said she got bit by my dog while my dog came out of my garage and ran towards her she was walking a smaller dog as she picked her dog up I believe her own dog scratched her arm after I brought my dog in she came over to show me the injury which was a scratch no puncture no blood literally a scratch no I’m being Sue for her hospital bill for bandage and cleaning 3800 and her suffering i don’t know what to do I’ve tried to ignore it but they have reached out to my landlord now I didn’t know my landlord could be called if I’m the dog owner can my landlord refuse
Hi Barry... great informative video. I have a corgi mix with shepherd. he bit the owner someone in the dog park. my dog was playing with me fine. then a puppy came rushing toward my dog and tried to play with my dog. My dog got surprised and my dog went after the puppy. i was able to call off my dog to walk away from that puppy. After i walked far away of that area and continued to play with my dog, the puppy followed us and challenged my dog. at that point my dog ran after the puppy who is a young shepherd. the puppy ran back to his owner. then i saw the owner tried tobkick my dog. then my dog bite him but did not drawn blood. The owner of the puppy reported my dog to the police, i got fine $125 for the incidents and my dog got taken away for 14 days quarantine. after i got my dog back. the other owner asked me to pay his medical bills. the police reported that the bite was not severe. i have friends that tell me to ignore it because the issues happen in a dog park and the other dog instigated the problem. i am not sure what to do in this case. your recommendations is greatly appreciated.
Morning - I honestly am not sure what to tell you. Dog bite law is very state specific so I don't know what you might be on the hook for. I strongly recommend that you consult with a local attorney to learn what you might be liable for if anything. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful on this one.
I don't have much on the guy who bit me past a description of him and his dog. I do have the number and name of the person who's dog was to my best assumption "I came up after anything between the dogs happened was resolved." The name of the person who's dog did not bite me and was working with me says that he saw it as Aggressive behavior. I am more on the side to agree.
What if my side was barricaded and theirs was not and their dog bit mine thru the fence and my dog went under after their dogs then the neighbor stuck her hand between the dogs got a tooth in her pinky but never went to hospital and want me to pay for their pets damages. And they haven't sent any proof my dog was on their side first should I wait for animal control to investigate first
Hello I left my dogs in my car to run into my mom house, an this lady was walking by with 2 of her dogs. so my dog got excited an started scratching again the door of my car an she pressed a bottom inside my van that automatically opens the door, an she got out an attacked her dogs an bit her on the hand the ambulance came her dogs was fine they gave her a few stitches she denied going to the hospital. when I talked to her she said it’s fine I’m ok I just have to wear this bandage on her finger for a couple days an then she sued me my state is strick liability state an I don’t have insurance what should I do?
Hi Damian, do they know you don't have insurance? And they're still coming after you? That makes very little sense to me unless you have some significant assets to go after. If you haven't told them you don't have ins, you should do so. Otherwise, I'm not sure what help I can be to you Damian. I don't do defense work. I would have been on the other side representing the person who was bitten.....
I got ate up pretty bad in 2006 by a neighbors German shepherd. Still have pain in my hip and leg. I killed the dog and the neighbors home owners insurance paid. We are still on bad terms all these years later. I’ve been a horrible neighbor on purpose towards them. Keep your dogs up, it isn’t worth the trouble it will cause you if it bites someone.
We have two large attack dig cases that just fizzled out in court after the victims ran out of money to press on suing the dog owners. It is nearly impossible in my province for the legal system to deal with owners of vicious dogs or for victims to see some kind of compensation for their trauma. Everything is in favor of the dog owner and the victims are left with no closure. Suing a dog owner is expensive and most lawyers consider suing dog owners dicy so they always ask payment up front. Meanwhile all the legal protection tools are available for the dog owner no matter what.
Hi yes what can i do if the victim is the neighborhood crazy guy and said he got bit by my dog but couldn't say what breed it was all he said was that it was a pitbull, bulldog but mines a boxer an old one at that and its always chained up im self employed/trade stocks so im home all day either in my living room or in my front porch. And i havent had to rechain him up all this month so I was shocked when animal control and sheriffs pulled up giving me 2 options give the dog up for 9day quarantine and pay $15ea day or pay a $500 fine. I would pay and reach out to the victims if my dog did bite them but i just dont see it possible unless if they were the ones who stole my small pug i had chained up to my boxer. He went missing 2days before this claim but dont have proof he stole it even tho i can her him barking inside their house just that they dont let it out the house
Not sure where you live but that's crazy. Find a lawyer who has a contingency. What kind of idiot would just arbitrarily risk paying for legal help without knowing the financial outcome. If it's a sure thing then I guess. Never lost with a contingency based lawyer. They saved my life.
So...some guy came in a few days ago...mind you we have a closed off fence and beware of dogs in both sides. This guy came on our property with no permission or ant kind of warning...just came in and our window was open...no need to say what happened but my dog didn't like it and jumped out and bit him on the leg..this happened 2 days ago and I wasn't home. My family was home and I haven't heard anything from this guy. Cause he came in unannounced. In my opinion. But he never gave me anything about insurance..but I do have cameras
We were visiting my parents that live in FL and we live in GA. We were on the beach (which is a private beach) and a man was walking behind us. Our dog felt threatened because we were with my young daughter and he nipped him in the back of his leg while passing us. We thought he had gotten the 3 year rabies but found out it was just the 1 year. We provided him with all our information and our vet info and gave him antibacterial cleaning solution and bandaid. (Bite was about the size of two pen heads) The man went to an urgent care for treatment and the drs called law enforcement and said we would be receiving a call from them. The dr gave him an antibiotic shot. We offered several times to pay for his medical bills, he said not to and repeatedly said he’s not looking for money. He’s waiting the vet records to figure out “what’s next”. Florida laws seem pretty intense on this whole situation, do you know if they enforce it? Also, any advice on what we should do next ? (We are bringing him in for his vaccines tomorrow already) thanks!
Morning, I don't know FL law at all on dog bite law and dog bite law is super state specific. Do you have homeowner's insurance? If so, it should cover you perhaps. Also, when you say private beach, does that mean you were there at the owner of the property's invitation and the other guy was trespassing? In IL, a victim needs to be lawfully on the property - just thinking if something comes up that might be a defense you have. Barry
I was taking my dog on a walk in my neighborhood when all of a sudden he went to take off at a passing jogger, I quickly pulled him back but he twisted his head and got loose and ran and bit the jogger. He broke the skin with only 1 of his teeth and we offered to pay for all of the medical bills, but they said they needed to run home first before taking the jogger to the hospital. We exchanged information and this is the 2nd time he has bit someone but the first time in public. I’m not sure what to do and seeking some advice.
Morning Robbie, dog bite law is extremely state specific. Have you researched the law in your state yet? Like e.g. is it a one bite state or not... Also, if you have homeowner's insurance, I would just turn it over to them and let them run with it.
Who is considered the owner when a police dog bites an individual inadvertantly or inappropriately and outside their scope? This was just litigated in Minnesota and appealed to the supreme court but what do you think the answer is? Is it the handler or the agency?
A MAJOR must have, that is EXTREMELY important is to have cameras on your property. If you have cameras, it will make it very difficult, if not impossible for a trespassing victim to file a lawsuit against the dog owner due to the dog bite. If you think about it, if a trespasser got bit, the dog owner could show the footage to the police. And, have a BEWARE OF DOG sign. That way, you are not liable and neither is the dog for a bite due to trespassing. Because, I think this is how it works...if someone is trespassing and the trespasser is bitten by the dog, the owner has BEWARE OF DOG signs, then police and animal control CANNOT quarantine or euthanize the dog if the victim was trespassing. This is especially true if the dog owner has cameras. People are going to lie. There's nothing that you can do about that. I always like to joke by saying that you can throw someone out of an airplane and by the time he gets to the ground, he will have fooled thousands of people with lies. It is so amazing of the kinds of lies people will tell. I was walking to my car and my neighbor's dog jumped the fence! And, in fact...that person was actually in the neighbor's yard. That's just one of them. So, have cameras. And, never rely on neighbors cameras. Have your own cameras. Have a BEWARE OF DOG sign. And, replace the BEWARE OF DOG sign every 5 years. If you allow the BEWARE OF DOG sign to get faded, then that BEWARE OF DOG sign becomes a "ghost sign" that means nothing and everybody ignores it. But nobody ever ignores fresh sign. I don't anybody who ignores fresh signs. Do you? So, replace the BEWARE OF DOG sign every 5 years. Maybe rotate the wording helps too. Say after that 5 years is up, then instead of BEWARE OF DOG, maybe WARNING: SECURITY DOG...NOTICE: VICIOUS DOG...stuff like that. Change the wording up every 5 years. And, if your dog is growling for any reason, do something right away. That can be an indication of something. Also, pay attention to the kinds of people who are around. Obviously, Kim Jong Un, Aloysius O'Hare from the Lorax, someone who looks threatening, I guarantee you that the dog is going to growl and snap at those people! However, it is not always immediately obvious that someone is a bad person but the dog can sense it. A bad person can look like a nice person and you may not be able to see it right away. But, if you pay attention to the person who is around, you can see cracks in his/her pretend nice that a dog can sense. If that is the case, then maybe you should stay away from that person. And, you really should stay from someone like that anyway. Point is, find out why the dog is aggressive towards the person. Don't relax just because you have a sweet dog. I have actually seen more legal problems, bites, and stuff with sweet dogs than I have from vicious dogs. A vicious dog, you're going to be more careful! But a sweet little dog, you let your guard down. So, don't relax because you have a sweet dog.
There was a recent incident where a small dog bit a child in the face. The dog was tethered and leashed with about 3-4 ft of length and away roughly 15-20 yards away with me sitting next to them when I am not playing, usually they would have their little fence but I decided to utilize the tether and leashes for that day. Each individual were asked to make sure their kids does not approach the dog without me being there, ( several people can provide fact that this is true as I’ve made this statement each time due to no matter how friendly my dog can be, he is still just becoming two years old with teeths growing out almost filled)since we all gathered for a simple game of volleyball. Next thing you know a little 3 year was by my dog touching him in his ears and she got bit in the face. One reason why I always warn everyone to not touch them unless I am there. The parents were not supervising her as they ran from across the other end of the volleyball net. She was sent to the ER for scratches and a few teeth marks on her face. I followed up with the parents to show empathy, and check on their child. Of course there will be mixed feelings since we all know know each other. They later filed a police report and I answered, complied with the officers investigation. Regardless of a child who provoked the animal with everyone being warned the child and their parents will always win the case. It’s a lose lose situation just from reading and learning more about these incidents. I will be doing my very best to take responsibility, but I do want justification so it is fair in the end. The pup has vaccinated records, unfortunately everything else is in the process for since 2022 was suppose to be the year of becoming a FTHB since we are already on the market and approved. It’s unfortunate that this will possibly set that back.
I'm sorry you are going through this. I would just turn this over to your insurance company and let them handle it. That's why you have been paying for insurance...
I’m currently in a situation my dog bit the mailman and he got stitches nerve damage and all that . My house insurance paid already but now they wanna sue me again because my car was parked in the driveway blocking the sidewalk but there was no other parking . I have a fence but my car was parked in the driveway and the mailman decided to go between my car and the fence which was a small space that not even a toddler fits .and that’s how he got bit .I have no assets and i currently don’t have a job .and im 20 . Only me and my sister live here
Morning - I don't understand how they can enter a settlement agreement with your ins co and then still come after you. I would strongly recommend you consult with your insurance adjuster and or a local attorney.... Sorry I can't be more helpful on this one. Barry

@@fabianescoto6046 Morning - sorry for the delay responding. Shouldn't matter that this didn't happen in your actual home. Check with your homeowner's ins anyways to see if there is coverage.
I live in a 36 unit loft building. I have two pit bulls one is leash aggressive and the other is very friendly with 3 legs. I was taking the one out that is leash aggressive , as soon as I opened my door a neighbor was right outside my door picking up something they dropped. The dog I had on the leash and I were caught by surprise and my dog began to bark I had full control of my dog on the leash but she is very strong. While I'm in my doorway trying to back out in my home my other dog bolted out within seconds out past me and the dog I had on a leash. This excited the person in the hallway and she began to bat at my dog in fear. This caused my dog to nip her finger. This all took a matter of 8 seconds or less I called for my dog as I struggled to keep the one on the leash in my control. I feel awful for what took place. Animal control was contacted and my dog was quarantined for 10 days and was not deemed dangerous . However the person but is seeking payment for their injury and I have been fully cooperative but the victim is insisting my management make me get rid of my dog who has no prior history of this behavior and has always been very friendly and approachable. Is there legal grounds towards management to honor this request? I don't want to lose my dog because of this unfortunate accident. Please help 🆘
Hi, whether there are legal grounds for management to act would depend on your state law. I honestly couldn't tell you. That would be something you'd have to talk to a local attorney about - or - research dog bite law in your state. Sorry I can't be more help on this one.
Hello. Sorry to hear this. Where in Illinois? I will likely know an attorney who can help. You can email me your contact info and where the incident occurred at info@legalvlogger.com. Thanks, Barry Z.
My dog is half pitbull and half Pyrenees she has anxiety so she's scared of new people meaning she'd try to bite them at first but after meeting them for awhile she'll get comfortable with them so since that problem of her wanting to bite I started training her having her restrained when she's outside and about 2 months ago my neighbor started being negligent with his 4 yr old daughter he started letting her out his yard and out of his closed fence and most times my family had to watch for her cuz she almost ran into the road with on going traffic and when we had to save her from getting her so many times we gave up cuz it's not our child so we talked to the father and he found it offensive so he held a grudge against us for awhile and 1 day he wasn't watching her as usual my family was outside having a bbq no one knew she was coming over but to enter into our yard she had to open 3 gates and for that reason is cuz I'm training my dog still cuz I don't want an incident to happen with her bitting anyone buy the girl came over unexpected and she got bit and for her to had get bitten she had to open my 3 gates to get to my dog who was harnessed and chained to keep her from trying to chase people when walking by our house she's never done that but I'm training her so but the girl got bit and I was so mad at myself cuz it was my fault I beat myself up for weeks and was depressed but I got told it wasn't since the father wasn't watching her and she's not our child and now the father is suing me and I'm freaking out and he recently claimed my family is stealing stuff and selling it to people so he got our landlord to stop us from having yard sales and it hurts cuz I have no idea what to do
@@danawoods7075 Ok, then if they file a lawsuit against you you'll need to defend it. I strongly recommend rather than speaking with me moving forward, you consult with a local attorney who knows your state's dog bite law and the 'defenses' you may have to their claim.
Thank you 🙏🏾 for your very informative video. Unfortunately we just got served with a lawsuit today . We are in California. Our dog bit a lady 3 years ago and we are just getting word of this lawsuit. She was fine it was a scratch. She said she was fine too…. 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Check the statute of limitation in your state..most states have 2 years, she can't sue after. In my state,Arizona ,the Statute of limitation for dog bite is 1 year ,but there is also a 2 years they can sue on "common law" for personal injuries... but 3 years after the event ,I am pretty sure is too late. Good luck !
Hi, I've got an URGENT QUESTION??? WHAT DO YOU DO IF A BAD FAITH NEIGHBOR'S SON ACCUSES MY DOG FROM BITTING HIM AND THE PARENT GOES TO THE TOWN' S AUTHORITY TO FILE A CLAIM AGAINST US, BUT AFTER WILLINGLY LIABILITY FOR THE DAMAGES AND CHECKING HIS INJURY AND TALKING TO THE BOY, WE'VE GOT SUFICIENT EVIDENCE IT WASN'T A DOG BITE AT ALL; THAT IT WAS A SCRAPE DERIVED FROM FALLING QUICKLY FROM HIS BIKE?? WHAT OR HOW ELSE SHOULD WE PROCEED? WE TRY TO BE A KIND COUPLE WITH IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. WE LOVE OUR DOGS AND EVEN THOUGH THEY DO BARK AT BIKES OR MOTORCICLES THEY WOULDN'T AGRAVIATE TOWARDS SOMEONE. AND THIS NEIGHBOR IS KNOWN FOR BEING A TROUBLEMAKER AND IS WILLING TO TAKE IT FURTHER.
Hello, did they file a claim with your homeowner's insurance or your renter's insurance yet? If so, I would say- just turn over all the evidence to them and let them deal with it.... The truth will come out.
My baby girl is a mix terrier and she's all updated on her shots, n she claims my dog bit her but I never saw my dog bit her cuz she was on a leash n she was by me. But it's her word against mine, there was no open wound or no mark. She didn't report it to the cops she let it go until the next day she went to the hospital cuz there was a bruise n it was infected . But still there where no cops involved only animal control that came to my home Monday. He told me I have to keep my dog away from people n other animals for vten days, n have to take my girl to her vet for an healthy exam n I did two days ago and my vet says my girl is healthy still. I'm on a tight bouget but I offer to pay the hospital bill.
Hi, my youngest children were jumping on top of my german shepherd (3 years old) Had him since 4 week old. In his reaction of my kid jumping on top of him he kinda thru a bite but not to harm no onem My daughter was passing by and he accidentally got my daughter a bit, but released immediately. Dr. Want us to file a police report to animal control and take him to be monitored.. im afraid I won't see him ever again...
File a police report on your own dog? Well, that would be a first..... I'm not sure what to tell you. I can only say, if it were me, I wouldn't call on my own dog. I'd handle it in house with training or whatever. But that's just my personal opinion. I don't know the technicalities of the law in your state. Maybe she or he is right and the law requires it. But practically speaking, I'm skeptical of the advice.
It really sounds like your not fit for a dog. As a dog handler/trainer i would never ever let a child even if it was my own, jump on top of my dog, a dog is not a jungle gym for a child to jump on. Im honestly surprised your dog was that tolerant jumping on him. I would consider rehoming your dog & doing a ton of research before even considering getting another. 😬 And the police report thing..was odd.
Hey so supposedly my dog ended up biting someone but i dont see it being possible hes chained up friendly old dog but i had to give it up to the animal control so they can do a rabies test even tho hes all up to date with his shots(this is in Texas) I was told to give the dog up and pay $15 a day for 9 days until they get the results or pay a $500 fine but when i asked the animal control guy if they took a picture of the dog that bit the victim to prove it was him they said that the sheriff said it was a pitbull, bulldog type of dog but mines a boxer and matches the color description. Even tho there are alot of strays and there is a pitbull that comes matching the same discription. They said he got bit while he was running but i feel like they got bit on my property since ive caught someone stealing fence posts but they ran away into the dark and the dogs bark all night and the same person who claiming to be bit ended up stealing my smaller dog that i had chained up next to my boxer and i hear it barking in their house but they never take it out. What can i do about it since im going to have to pay $135 just for them to quarantine him wven tho they have no proof other than what they said
Hi, to be honest, I really don't know. Dog bite law is very local in nature. So what you can or can't do about the dog in quarantine etc. is totally outside my knowledge in TX. But if someone tries to come after you for damages, I can tell you that you should just turn it over to your homeowner's insurance company and let them run with it. That's why you have insurance in the first place. Sorry I can't be more help but this is just a very local knowledge question. Barry
My little yorkie slipped out of my arms and nipped the UPS drivers leg. He seemed friendly to dogs but after my dog got him he walked away and all I heard was him on his earpiece saying he got bit by a dog but idk who he was talking too. Should I be worried? I wish I had had time to put the dog inside smh
Dog bite law is very state specific so I'm not sure what to tell you. I would strongly recommend you consult with a local attorney on this matter. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
I have a pitbull the police officer said he got loose and bit someone he never gave me a report he just went on and gave me a ticket and told me I had to go to court what should I do he doesn't have any evidence or anything I'm in Kingdom City Missouri
Hi - sorry for the delay responding here... I'm not entirely sure what to tell you here. If it were me, I would appear for the ticket. Have you been contacted by the alleged victim of the dog bite? If so, you of course should turn it over to your homeowner's or renter's insurance asap.
Question what if the dog bite someone and you euthanize the dog and built a fence and the family comes after you a year and 4 months later but not report was filed or provided by your local police? No report provided, no pictures given and the person that was bitten is playing basketball has cut my grass twice since the incident?
Hey, jeesh that's tough. Well, they have within the statute of limitations within which to file a lawsuit. Do you have homeowner's insurance? Or renter's insurance? Just turn it over to them....

How do you prove a dog is NOT yours? I recieved a citation saying my dog attacked someone and that’s I possible. I had to put my dog down 2 months prior to the accident. And the description doesn’t even match my old dog. Seems like there just looking for someone to pin it to with assets
Hey Steve. To be honest, I don't know - never had this situation before. I assume you can get a court date and go show them paperwork that you put the dog down 2 months prior??? I'm sorry I can't be more helpful on this one. This is just out of my area of knowledge. Sorry you're going through this.
My dog bite 1 kid and 1 guy and my mom said she will be in jail for 5 years :'[ im from philipines Cause my dad dont want my dog gone if dog not gone my mom will be jail for 5 years 😭 What do i do im only 9...
My dog just bit someone accidentally I was giving a person a long box the person reach his hand all the way in, he said his insurance will pay for treatment but doctor told him to stay home for a week with out work am I responsable to pay for that week of work please help ?Thank you
My parents were walking the dog and a guy who was drunk came up walking suspicious and touched my dog the dog but abd there trying to press charges we even said the dog isn't friendly to strangers
When you say press charges? That is not something I know anything about. Have they filed a claim with your homeowner's insurance yet? That is the side I know something about the civil side of things. Not the criminal.... I apologize that I can't be more helpful on this one.
Hi, just call your homeowner's insurance provider and check with them what coverage you have. And if you don't have it, add it to the policy. Damages range wildly so a reasonable amount of coverage would be at least 100k
Hi, thank you for this video. It was helpful. You said have insurance for your dog. Do you mean renters or homeowners insurance or actual medical insurance for your dog? I have renters insurance but not dog medical insurance. The day of the incident I offered to pay for her medical expenses (thankfully the alleged bite was super minor.) And what medical documentation am I allowed to ask for? Meaning I want to ensure I'm paying for the incident related expenses ONLY. Can I ask that all expenses to be paid come directly from the doctors office? Thank you for your time.
Hi. I meant renters or homeowner's ins. I'm not really sure what your state allows you to demand in terms of documentation in a personal injury case. That would be a question better suited for a local injury attorney. You can ask of course for anything you want.... whether they will comply is a totally different issue.
In Ohio if the person trespass I am not liable. However it was a 10 yr old who jumped over and got bit. Now I'm being sued, I am familiar with law and have educated my self. Paid their bill and their still trying to come after. Lawyers I've spoken say I'm on the hook which I don't understand why when the law here in Ohio says I'm liable unless the person trespasses and or torment the dog. What do I do now?
My dog bite an animal control officer and now to get my dog back i have to put insurance on the dog , but i don't own a home or have had insurance on the dog
Thank you for your information, I’m going through a similar situation where my dog was inside his property and accidentally scratched a minor that was petting my dog from outside my gate now the mom it’s trying to sue me, my dog was lock inside his property, minor was outside reaching his hands through my gates my dog jump since the moms kid was coming behind with a dog that my dog doesn’t know and accidentally scratched minor hope anyone can help with this
Morning - do you have homeowner's or renter's insurance?? If so you should turn this over to them asap. If you do not, you should research your state's dog bite law. Sounds like you may have a "defense" to any claim for the dog bite. But dog bite law is very state specific so you really have to research your own state's laws to know if you have a legit defense.
Morning - not something I've ever been asked before. I guess if they made a defamatory statement about you, you might have a cause of action. . . But I don't really know. Again, never had this come up before. Sorry I can't be more helpful on this one.
Hello Jose, I'm really sorry to hear this. I'm not sure what to tell you. The cases I've been involved in in the past involved people getting bitten. I have no idea how to guide you regarding another animal being mauled. I would guess.... report it to animal control or the police.... Try to get some compensation for medical bills etc etc. But I honestly don't know what to tell you otherwise. I'm really sorry you're going through this and I'm sorry I can't be more helpful on this one.
My daughter's 6 pound chihuahua bit the fill in mailman on the shoe and he's threatening to sue... I have a chain link fence but he's so little he gets right through it. Can he sue me even though Bambi didn't cause any bodily harm? He doused him in pepper spray and seemed to take great joy in that! I realize that ultimately it's my fault but he's saying the USPS has the dogs head cut off to check for rabies. Does that sound as ridiculous to you as it does me?
That does sound ridiculous. Liability for dog bites varies by state. YOu need to look up the law in your state. I can't comment on it but to say in my state of IL, if the dog bites you're on the hook. But there still has to be 'damages.' In this case, injuries. And it doesn't sound like there are any.....
@@LawFull Thank you so much for responding! I looked up the dog bite laws in West Virginia and they are very strict, but I can't seem to find anything about chihuahuas or no bodily injury! I guess in the mean time I'll just keep my fingers crossed and hope the guy cools off and doesn't sue me! Thanks for the informative video too!!!!
My dog bit our grand neice and now my nephew is suing my father the owner of the house were it took place. We live there too. Does my father's insurance cover us? and if so will the money go to my nephew or will it go to our underage grand neice? Thanks for making such a informative video.
Hi, sorry for the delay. I honestly don't know. Dog bite law is very state specific. I would consult with the insurance adjuster about this. And regarding who gets the money, your nephew or niece, that is something that is totally out of my area of knowledge so I couldn't help on that one. I am really sorry, I try to help out but on this one I just can't comment further.
MY DOG BIT A PERSON, IT WAS MINOR INJURIES, I GOT NO TICKET, MY DOG WAS QUARANTEE IN HOME FOR 14 DAYS, THAT'S ALL. NO WRITTEN WARNING LETTER. THE PERSON SUE ME FOR $1MILLION,.

AND HIS LAWYER SUE FOR EARNING POWER, EXCESSIVE INJURIES, PAIN AND SUFFERING?/ HOW CAN I DEFEND?
Hi, I don't know anything about Canadian dog bite law I'm sorry to say. Nor do I know anything about your legal system. So I wouldn't be the right person to give you information on this. I would go to your local law library or consult with a local defense attorney near you. Sorry I can't be more help on this one.
I was mauled by a presa canario while doing my job the owners dog ran through an electrical fence and attacked me right outside my truck 10 puncture wounds lacerations in three different spots is this a case worth pursuing? South Alabama
Hello. Very sorry to hear this. I would consult with a local attorney about what your rights are to be honest. I don't know anything about ALA dog bite law and what the ramification of having it happen while on the job etc... The only attorney I know is in Birmingham. Is that close to you? If you want a referral, send me an email with your contact info to info@legalvlogger.com. Sorry I can't be more helpful on this one. Barry
Hello, my cousin walked in my home unannounced and he’s supposed to call first so that the dog can be put away. He just walked in and the dog bit him, he’s suing me. Can I argue assumption of risk?
Morning - sorry for the delay responding. Dog bite law is very state specific. I strongly recommend you consult with a local attorney to learn the defenses you can use to defend against a dog bite case.... Sorry I can't be more helpful with this one. Barry
Hello! ive been attackedby this one dog before when i was young but i stupidly said i didnt want my parents to press charges even though it was a serious attack and my legs were bitten and scratched all over and bleeding everywhere. But the owners have started to not care about the dog and it has attacked some of my neighbors before and its violence of chasing and attempting to attack still goe son. Even after ive done the steps of how to keep safe like dropping objects, stop motion (since it triggers a dogs insticts), and many other things... it still tried to attack. I'm sure that it will soon land on me again since i go by that area a lot since im an active person but try to avoid there. the dog likes to leave the yeard and go where it pleases so it doesnt matter where i am. If i ever do get attacked again, would i be able to file a law suit agianst the owner?
Dog bite law is very state specific. Hard for me to say in advance of a situation what you could and couldn't do. Have you researched your local dog bite law for defenses to dog bites?
Hey, so a couple of hours ago my dog bite someone but here's the ploblem my house has a brick fence and the lady who got bitten was trespassing idk what can she do but it was a pretty bad bite it was only one bite but it was on my property what can I do ? I live in Texas and my dog is 1 year old and is a American bully
My dog bit someone on my property in the state of Virginia. I have homeowners insurance, and we have the 1 bite law here as well. The person was warned just for precaution and the dog was fenced in but he tried to per the dog anyways what steps do I need to take next?
hi I live in California and my dog bit a 4 years old boy 2 days ago, we were playing together with my kid and my dog was leashed and I told the grandma that my dog is very aggressive but the boy still run to my dog and he suddenly jump off the bench and bite him. And the second day animal control came and gave him a 10 days quarantine and I paid $132. I just heard today that the parents going to find a lawyer but I don’t have any kind of home insurance, but I own the home, it’s a manufacturing house, what should I do? I was trying to pay them some money but I don’t know what they going to do in the future. My dog has all the up to date vaccines and we took the child to the hospital at the first place, with his own health insurance
@@LawFull I haven’t received any letter from any attorney yet, but I’m not sure if they know that I don’t have home insurance, even I tell them the truth they may don’t believe it.
@@lewis1318 well make sure they know, especially the attorney. If it were me as an attorney I wouldn't waste my time going after someone who didn't have insurance...
@@LawFull hi again, so I received a letter from other party’s lawyer today and ask me about the insurance information, and I called back to tell them that I don’t have homeowners insurance or renters insurance, and then they asked me for my driver’s license and said they will go check if it’s true. So what should I do now? Are they going to find it out if there’s insurance by a driver’s license? Or they will do something else with that driver’s license
Hi my boyfriend's dog got out of his of his truck while he was throwing out the trash and accidentally bite another kid while playing I was not there but I do feel responsible and I don't know how to handle it because it's a person that I know and it happened in my apartment complex I just don't know how to handle I did give the office his information and his address but I also feel responsible I just do not know what steps to take
My dog did bite some one and i am getting sued for 1 million $ and I dont have a home insurance but my house is paid off! Do you think the plaintiff will go after my house or asset?
Can I know the name of the person who made a complaint against me, They came to my door for a wellness check, this is Council Bluffs Iowa; I have had the dog for many years; I was very shocked at the whole thing. Thanks
Hi, I really don't know. I assume that depends on your local regulations. So I would consult with a local attorney about what you can and cannot find out about the accuser.
I just went through an incident My dog has been vaccinated 1/11/2020 He needed his vaccines 07/01/2021 He went on a dog fight with another owner’s dog he got loose from my backyard without me knowing, and Because the owner of the dog was carrying her pet, my dog bit her (like a hard pinch). But he didn’t mean to bite her. It was because she was carrying her dog. My dad said the best option was to put him to sleep since he’s not registered but I have the pdf files of his most recent vaccines. We were planning to register him, but then the incident happened. What do I do? The owner pardoned us, but if her daughter goes to the hospital to gets checked, that’s where the issue is for us. Animal control could come. I bathe my dogs, and clean their ears, but where we live is in front of almond fields, so it could be very dusty, and it’s summer. I don’t know if there’s another way to get out of this situation
Hi, what about it do you need help with? Doesn't sound like much of a case if at all. But you never know. But there's a lot of factors like what type of law applies in your state etc.
My neighbor said she was bit by a dog I was watching, she had a scratch on her leg, I was there the whole time, I didn't see anything so I didn't take a picture of it (I regret it so much) she then went home and literally made some wunds and now pursuing legal action
Hi my dog bit another dog and the person walking it intervene and my dog bit her hand she’s not Suing me. I have paid the vet’s Expenses. She was taken to the hospital and her insurance paid but she had to report that it was a dog bite do you think the hospital will come after me for the payment? The homeowners insurance that I have does not cover the kind of dog that I have.
Hi I am not sure I entirely understand the question. However I do not think that generally speaking the hospital would come after you for reimbursement. However if homeowners insurance pays for the damages that is a possibility. But again I'm a bit confused about what you're asking..
@@LawFull I want to know if you think her health insurance will not pay for the cost of her treatment. She told me she is not sure if they will go after me with the medical bill. The ambulance came she went to the emergency room. She also had to go back to another hospital to get the infection cleared. But she thinks it might be a lot since she was there three day. She is going back to make sure it is healing correctly. She is doing a lot better. We are so worried because it would be a lot of money if her health insurance decides not to pay for it.I looked at my homeowners insurance and Akita’s are not covered. Should I call the insurance company and let them know what happened? The accident did not happen on my property. Our dog got out and it happened down the street.
@@cindyjimenez9376 Hi, sorry for the delay I'm on vacation. I cannot predict whether her ins will pay for it or not. I don't have access to her policy to be able to make a determination about that. As far as reporting it to your insurance company, look at your policy. What does it say about reporting incidents like this to them. That is where you should start.
Without kaatne se... Matlab hum baar baar escaped ho jaate he par wo owner uska care nehi le raha hai aur owner ko pata hai phir v wo use khule mein chod de raha hai... Wo dog hamesha hum par attack Karne ki kosish Kare toh Kya kare eshe situation me... Please koi jarur reply de... Urgent hai please 🙏 Eshe situation mein Kya case ho sakta hai?
@@LawFull ohh I'm sorry sir🙏 Let me translate... One of my neighbor had a dog and he always leaves the dog outside by which the dog always tries to attack other neighbors. And today I was going to caught by his dog but God sake I got escaped and when I tells to the owner of the dog he ignores. That dog always tries to harm other but for God sake nothing happened bad. So I'm thinking about to take action over that person but I can't do anything cause I'm under age. What to do?
@@happiestsoul1279 Well, it depends where you're located. If you're in the U.S. I would talk to my parent and get them to call the police on the dog and report the attack. Outside the US - I really don't know what the laws are.
I got bitten by a dog during my work as moving I was getting paid cash What option do I have here? The owner of the dog was your work insurance should take care of the day your missing works And they were like do what ever you can I don’t care
Hello Amin, normally what you would do is file a claim with the dog owner's home owner's insurance. If you suffered bad injuries, let me know. I can put you in touch with someone who can help. My contact info is in the description for this video. Thanks, Barry
