New York's Dog Bite Laws
Under New York law, an owner of a dog is responsible for any medical bills or veterinary bills caused by a dog bite. While damages are limited under this statute to actual medical bills (which can be substantial), there is also another dog bite law in New York that provides for additional damages if the dog owner was negligent.
For example, if the dog owner knew his dog had a propensity to bite or attack, and nevertheless exposed you or your child to the dog, there may be negligence that would allow you to recover additional compensation. For that reason, it is advisable you consult with a premises liability lawyer who understands New York's dog bite laws.
