Dog Bite Attack Lawyer Lincoln Nebraska
A dog can be a loyal, trusted member of a family. Unfortunately, someone else’s dog may attack you or a family member, causing devastating injuries and psychological harm. Medical bills, counseling, nerve damage, and permanent scars may all result from an attack by a dangerous dog.
If you have been bitten or injured by a dog, the owner of that dog is liable to you for your injuries. It is no longer necessary for the dog to be found to have been “dangerous” to recover. The law used to be called the “one bite rule” as before a victim could recover he/she had to prove the dog was dangerous. This usually required that the dog had bitten someone before, thus the “one bite rule”. Under current law this is not necessary. If a dog bites someone, even the first time the dog has bitten someone, the owner is liable for the injuries and damages caused. As a side-note, Dale Dahlin has recovered the insurance policy limits from a dog owner where the dog jumped on Dale’s client and knocked her down causing injuries. So, it does not necessarily require that the dog bite for there to be a recovery for injuries and damages.
