Additional Information
The dog bite claims process is very complicated, and should be approached carefully, preferably by an experienced attorney. The process is explained in general, below. Keep in mind, when you start the claims process, you are not actually suing, just protecting your rights and asking for reasonable compensation. I take the worry and stress of the proceedings from you, so you can concentrate on healing.
Harboring a dangerous dog. Not only is it a crime in the Commonwealth to harbor a dangerous dog, but an owner must post a surety bond for $50,000 (can be an insurance policy) and the dog must be properly enclosed unless muzzled and restrained by a substantial chain or leash while under physical restraint of a responsible person.
The article does not apply if the threat, injury or damage was sustained by a person who, at the time, was committing a willful trespass or other tort upon the premises occupied by the owner of the dog, or was tormenting, abusing or assaulting the dog or has, in the past, been observed or reported to have tormented, abused or assaulted the dog, or was committing or attempting to commit a crime.
Attacks by a dangerous dog. If a dangerous dog, through intentional, reckless or negligent conduct of the dog’s owner or keeper, attacks a person or a domestic animal, the dog’s owner or keeper is guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree. The dangerous dog is immediately seized by a dog warden or police officer and placed in quarantine. After a period of ten days, if no appeal has been filed by the owner of the dangerous dog, the dangerous dog is humanely put to rest. If an appeal is filed, the dangerous dog shall remain confined until the proceedings are completed and, if found guilty of the cited offense, the dangerous dog is put down.
