Dog Bite Laws in Massachusetts

Dog owners are strictly liable for bites under Massachusetts law. That means when a person's dog bites someone else, the owner is legally responsible, even if the dog has never attacked anyone before. The owner is also likely on the hook for any injuries that occur in cases where someone is injured while trying to escape a threatening dog. That includes not only medical bills related to physical injuries, but also any psychological or emotional damages, as well as the cost of related counseling and psychotherapy. Many dog bite claims are covered by a person's homeowner's insurance policy, and a victim may seek recover directly from the insurance company. In addition, a person bitten by a dog on the job may also be entitled to workers' compensation benefits.

It is therefore crucial that a person seeking legal relief in relation to an animal attack clearly show the full extent of any and all related injuries, and establish just how long these injuries are expected to last. The victim must also establish that the person being sued is actually the pet's owner or keeper.

Obtaining Damages for Your Dog Bite Injury

Dogs aren't always man's best friend. While these furry little creatures are usually loyal and adorable, some can also be quite vicious. Dog bites and other animal attacks often cause serious, and in some cases lifelong, physical injuries. That's not to mention the extensive psychological damage that can result from a bite. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 800,000 people seek medical attention for dog bites across the country each year, nearly half of which require emergency room care.

John helped us settle a dispute we were having and making no progress with on our own. He gave us excellent advice and guided us through the process so it felt simple. His team is so professional, responsive, and easy to work with. We knew they were truly on our side. In the end, we got a settlement and he pushed for more and got it! We were so thankful for their hard work and dedication to our case.

Attorney John Manoog represented me in a serious slip & fall case. I was hesitant at first to call because my accident occurred in another state and I wasn’t sure I even had a case.

I’m so glad I enlisted their expertise. I met with them and they explained everything to me regarding the procedures.

Whenever I called the office with questions they either answered them or called me back. His staff is also knowledgeable and friendly.

When you are in a vulnerable position like I was you really don’t know what you should do and just dealing with Attorney Manoog and his staff made me feel more in control.

I highly recommend Attorney John Manoog and his wonderful staff.
