Personal Injury from Dog Bites and the New Jersey Law
Home » Personal Injury from Dog Bites and the New Jersey Law
Dog bite statistics estimate about 4.7 million people in the U.S. every year are bitten by dogs. About 800,000 require medical attention. New Jersey is a “strict liability” state with respect to dog bites, meaning that an owner is responsible for any damage the dog causes, regardless of its past history. An owner is responsible for his or her animal even if the animal is not on the owner’s property at the time of the attack. Personal injury from dog bites is a very serious matter.
