Pennsylvania Dog Bite Laws

The amount of compensation you can claim in a dog bite case depends on the circumstances surrounding the attack. Under Pennsylvania’s strict liability laws, owners are always liable for the medical expenses of their dogs’ victims, regardless of previous incidents or negligence. To claim additional compensation, such as lost wages or pain and suffering damages, you will need to prove that negligence played a role in the attack.

You can establish negligence by providing evidence to support two facts:

The dog had unmistakably vicious tendencies. This means that the dog has a history of vicious behavior, which may include previous bites or attacks, growling at a passer by, lunging or charging without provocation, and many other acts of aggression.
The owner neglected to control the animal properly. This typically involves violating Pennsylvania’s leash laws or violating requirements for handling dangerous dogs.

The dog owner may also be criminally liable for your injuries if your case meets certain criteria. If the dog has a history of vicious tendencies and has either severely injured a person or another animal, or the owner used the dog to commit a crime, the state could charge him or her for harboring a dangerous dog.
