Dog Attacks Are Sadly Becoming Increasingly Common Place.

Anderson Law Office May 19, 2025

Dog Attacks are Strict Liability Cases

In Minnesota, dog attacks are deemed to be strict liability cases. This simply means an owner of a dog is liable for injuries caused by their dog, unless it is proven that the dog was provoked.  Sadly, dog attacks are becoming more prevalent in our society.

Dog Attacks are Painful and Emotional Injuries

Dog attacks can cause painful and emotional injuries.  It is not uncommon for the attack to cause teeth punctures, wounds, stitches, scarring, or the treatment for rabies.  If you have been attacked by a dog, you are entitled to be compensated for your injuries.  Call Scott at once if you or someone close to you has been injured, seriously hurt, or died due to a dog attack.  Anderson Law will act immediately for you, investigate your case, and start working to help. 

Owners are Responsible for Damages

Owners usually fail to train their dog(s) properly, neglect to restrain the dog correctly or, in the worst circumstances, the owners train their dog to be vicious.  Dog owners are liable for damages if the dogs were not provoked.

For a Successful Case, it Must be Established that the Dog Attack was not Provoked

 Insurers often allege that the dog was provoked as a defense. Anderson Law needs to establish that the dog was not provoked at the very beginning.  Once that hurdle is accomplished and it is shown that the attack was unprovoked, you will be entitled to compensation for wage loss, medical bills, and pain and suffering from your injuries.  We assist you in every step of the process to fully analyze your case.  Anderson Law will work to get you the best possible recovery.  If you, a family member, or a friend have been injured in a dog attack, you should seek medical attention immediately, call 911 for emergency assistance, take notes of the incident, and take photos of the scene and injuries.
