Why you need an experienced dog bite attorney.

Pennsylvania and New Jersey dog owner and dog bite/attack laws are clear about an owners' responsibilities to protect people from being attacked, bitten, or harmed by their dogs. However, applying the law and proving your case to get you the financial compensation you deserve is complicated. (See, Common mistakes attorneys make that affect the value of your case.)

Our Knowledge
& Experience

Pennsylvania does not allow “Breed Specific Laws” to be adopted to ban or regulate specific dog breeds. In Pennsylvania, until a dog attacks it is not considered dangerous. Dogs that attack humans or other animals can be returned to their owners with just a warning to owners to keep their dogs “under control.”

Pennsylvania also has a three-strike policy that allows the dog’s return after two incidents unless a dog kills or seriously injures a person. It is only after a third “non-serious” mauling that it becomes mandatory an aggressive or dangerous dog be euthanized.

We believe anyone mauled by a dog, permanently disfigured, or severely injured deserves their day in court and has a right to fair compensation. You need an attorney who will uncover the facts and prove your case – even when an investigating officer says “there’s no culpability here.”
