JENKINTOWN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS

There are times when a dog is legally classified as a dangerous dog due to its previous actions/attacks, such as:

• An unprovoked attack that leads to broken bones or disfiguration that requires multiple sutures or cosmetic surgery to be resolved.
• An unprovoked dog kills or inflicts a severe injury on a domestic animal.
• A dog that was used in the aid of crime.
• If the dog has a history of attacking people or domestic animals and is not provoked.

Dangerous dogs are classified as such because they have a history of hurting people and/or domestic animals. We want to keep people safe, and if an owner cannot control his dangerous dog then people are no longer safe. If the owner of the dangerous dog does not take the necessary measures to ensure safety, he can be held liable for this dog’s actions.

Being injured by a dog bite is a serious situation. Dangerous dogs are harmful and need to be registered and kept from hurting more people. If you have been hurt in a dog bite attack in Pennsylvania, you should seek medical and legal help.
