A dog attack can be a traumatic incident that results in serious injuries. Vicious dog attacks cause many deaths every year. Often times a dog bite will result in permanent scarring, nerve damage, and a significant risk of infection. Often, there is also psychological distress that continues long after the physical injury. When this happens, it is important that you get yourself a good dog bite lawyer. 

 

Many times Dog attacks on innocent people occur because the owners are not responsible enough to keep their dogs under control. When this happens Michigan law provides a remedy to the victim of such dog attacks. 

​

If a dog bites a person without provocation the owner is likely liable for any resulting injuries. If the owner has homeowners or renters insurance, the insurance company will likely be required to pay. It does not matter whether the dog has a history of being vicious or attacking people. 

 

Many cities and towns have Dog Leash Laws requiring owners to keep their animals under control and not roaming at large. These laws are meant to protect people and when violated can used in conjunction with other Michigan dog liability laws.

 

If you have been bitten or attacked by a dog you should immediately document the event and injuries with photographs and medical treatment and call a lawyer with any questions.
