Understanding Pennsylvania Dog Bite Laws

If a dog has bitten someone before or has indicated a tendency to attack or show aggression, Pennsylvania dog bite law allows for the victim to seek full compensation for medical expenses, legal fees and more.

In cases involving a dog that has never bitten or shown an aggressive nature, a victim's legal recourse may be limited. Different rules apply if a Pennsylvania dog bite victim is seriously injured or only suffers minor injuries. A severe dog bite injury would be classified as one that includes broken bones or disfiguring lacerations, requiring multiple sutures or cosmetic surgery to repair. A victim who is severely injured by a dog may seek payment for medical expenses, legal damages and all other losses. However, the victim's attorney must prove that the dog attacked and inflicted injury without provocation.
