Compensation For Dog Bites In Massachusetts

Massachusetts is among the most favorable states for dog-bite victims seeking compensation. While many states have limitations on liability — requiring that the dog owner had some reason to believe that the dog was dangerous or the victim was trespassing for example — Massachusetts is a strict liability state for dog bites. Even if the dog had never done anything in the past to suggest that it might be dangerous, the owner is responsible for injuries incurred by the dog bite.

Injuries To Children

Tragically, it is children who most frequently fall victim to dog and other animal attacks. Children are more likely to be attracted to a dog on someone’s property and they are less likely to recognize the signs of a dog getting agitated.

Fortunately, dog bite laws in Massachusetts are favorable to recovery for children who have been attacked by dogs. At Eden Rafferty, we can help you or your child obtain full compensation for injuries and cosmetic damages.
