Skilled Attorney Holding Dog Owners Accountable
Dog attacks can result in extremely serious injuries to victims resulting in weeks, months, or even years of recovery. Some injuries are permanent and will never fully heal. Dog owners in New York have a duty to prevent their dogs from attacking and injuring innocent people.
At the Newburgh, New York, based Dreyer Law Offices, PLLC, I hold dog owners responsible for the harm that has come to you when their dogs cause serious injury. I have a comprehensive knowledge of New York personal injury law and I know the rights that the law affords to victims of dog attacks.
Dog Owner Responsibilities
Dog owners must have their dogs under control to prevent injury to others. This includes, for instance, proper containment of the dog, such as adequate fencing of the yard or appropriate leashes or tethers. Leash laws can vary from city to city, town to town, and it is the responsibility of the owner to ensure compliance.
Dog owners must know the personality of their dogs. If the dog has shown a propensity for violence, such as biting, growling, snarling, or acting in any way intimidating, the owner must take reasonable measures to protect others from harm.
