One of the most frightening types of injuries is that which is sustained by a dog bite. Victims of these vicious dog attacks are all too often maimed, scarred, or severely injured in a single moment. The mental and physical toll from vicious dog bite injuries can be excruciating and permanent. Many times, dog bite injuries need multiple surgeries to repair the damage, if the damage can be repaired at all.
Immediately, everyone who hears “dog bite” thinks of a vicious predator: the pit bull, the rottweiler, the german shepherd, and the list continues. The reality is that many vicious dog bite cases are the result of seemingly innocent breeds. Dog bite cases are NOT determined by the breed of the animal. Dog Bite cases ARE determined by the negligent care and control of the pet owner.
In New York, it is not enough to show a vicious breed was involved in order to prevail, but that the specific animal involved had a HISTORY of violence or previous attacks. The Client, through his attorney, must show that the owner had prior notice of a negative, violent, or vicious disposition — or that the owner was negligent or reckless in the control, care, and/or training of the animal. Dog owners are often not aware that the simple act of feeding a dog “table scraps” may lead to a violent history. Also, negligent dog owners may simply fail to adequately secure their dogs.
Owners are often negligent in letting children approach a dangerous — although loved — animal. Since the questions surrounding these types of cases can be very varied, the attorney involved must have the expertise need to protect your rights. And the time to file a claim is often limited. The Sachs Firm handles these cases with the knowledge and skill needed to protect your interests.
