Massachusetts Dog Bite Lawyer, Attorney Paulsen can help you recover money for your injuries which can be permanent in nature and include money for scarring.
1 in every 60 people in the United States suffers a dog bite annually. Further, 1 in 4 households in Massachusetts owns a dog. Massachusetts dog bite laws are found in M.G.L c. 140, s. 155. Typically, the damages from these lawsuits are paid by homeowners’ insurance and usually the owner of a dog is strictly liable for injuries resulting from a dog attack. Massachusetts does not require an owner to show that a dog has a character for violence, unlike some other states.
Nevertheless, many owners fail to put in this effort. Dogs routinely attack innocent people, often resulting in significant injuries.
