What Is a Dog Bite Case?
A dog bite case happens when a dog bites someone and causes injuries. In these cases, the person who got bitten may need medical help and could miss work. The victim might be able to get money for their injuries, pain, and suffering.
What Do I Must Do to Receive Compensation for a Dog Bite?
To receive compensation, you need to prove that the dog owner was responsible for the bite. This means showing that the owner did something wrong or did not take care of their dog properly.
Negligence and the Relevant Legal Elements
Negligence is when someone does not take the care they should, leading to someone else getting hurt. In a dog bite case, we look at four main parts:
- Duty: The dog owner has a duty to keep their dog from hurting people.
- Breach: The owner did not keep the dog under control, breaking their duty.
- Causation: The owner’s lack of control caused the dog to bite someone.
- Damages: The bite caused injuries or other losses.
In Colorado, there is also something called contributory negligence. This means that if the person who got bitten did something to cause the bite, their compensation might decrease.
Who Is Responsible for My Injuries?
Usually, the dog owner is responsible for injuries caused by their dog. However, in some cases, dog sitters or property owners might take on responsibility.
Damages: What Compensation Can I Receive in a Dog Bite Case?
You may receive compensation for:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Scarring or disfigurement
What Are the Potential Sources of Recovery?
Compensation might come from:
- The dog owner’s insurance
- Your own insurance (if you have coverage)
- The property owner’s insurance (if the bite happened on someone else’s property)
