Identifying the Negligent Party and Establishing Liability
Our investigation will bring to light the individual or entity responsible for your dog bite. This identification will join our deep understanding of New York state laws that hold dog owners responsible for their pets’ aggressive actions.
To cinch our argument of liability, our legal team will prove that one of the following statements is true:
- The dog owner was negligent, and their actions (leaving a backyard gate open or walking the dog without a leash, perhaps) enabled the attack that caused your injury; or
- The dog owner failed to take the proper precautions given the attacking dog’s prior history of aggressiveness, which should have indicated to the owner that the dog posed a threat to others.

New York’s Statutes of Limitations Means the Clock is Ticking
New York imposes a statute of limitations for all personal injury actions. This means that you have a limited amount of time from the date of your dog attack incident in which to take legal action.
By hiring an attorney early on to represent you in your quest for compensation, you narrow the chance of this and other applicable claim and litigation deadlines passing you by. It also gives your lawyer more time to build a solid case and with access to more evidence, such as, for example, witness testimonies or potential video footage.
