Dog bite cases typically involve strict liability in many states, holding owners responsible regardless of the animal’s previous behavior. Common scenarios include attacks in public places, bites occurring on the owner’s property, and injuries to invited guests. Different rules apply when victims provoke animals or trespass on private property where dogs are confined. Certain breeds may face additional regulations or insurance exclusions affecting available compensation sources. Other animal attacks involve horses, cattle, or exotic pets requiring proof of owner negligence. Landlords may share liability for tenant’s dangerous dogs when aware of aggressive behavior. Veterinarians, groomers, and dog walkers face occupational exposure with modified liability rules. Cases involving police dogs or service animals have special legal considerations and immunity issues.
