Our Attorneys Know How to Navigate New York State Dog Bite Laws
When our Huntington dog bite attorneys represent an injured victim, we must build a case showing the dog had a “vicious propensity.” This is typically proven by a previous history of aggressive behavior. While prior biting incidents should satisfy this requirement, a history of other behaviors, such as growling, snapping, snarling, threatening barking and showing teeth or lunging should also be helpful as we build a case to demonstrate the dog’s vicious propensity.
When you retain us we will work to gather evidence to meet this evidentiary burden. We do not back down from challenging cases, so do not hesitate to speak to our law firm.
