Animal Attacks under New York Law: One Free Bite?

Dog bite cases often hinge on proving that the dog was "dangerous" under state statute, meaning that the owner knew or should have been aware of the animal's vicious propensities. Attorney Jim Cupero has been successful in proving the animal's predisposition not only previous bites, but also aggressive behavior such as chasing, snapping, growling or attacks on other animals.

Once the dog is established as having evidenced prior vicious propensities, the owner is strictly liable for all medical care expenses, as well as the victims’ pain and suffering.

If you suffered a dog bite, premises liability lawyer Jim Cupero can help you recover damages for:

  • Bites and claw wounds, including infections or rabies shots
  • Scars and plastic surgery
  • Nerve damage to hands, arms, legs or face
  • Injuries suffered in escaping an attack
  • Emotional and psychological damage
