Dog Bites
New Jersey law provides for Strict Liability against the owner of a dog that inflicts a wound by biting. This means that the victim of a dog bite is automatically entitled to certain monetary compensation from the dog's owner. The amount of these damages and the ability to collect monetary compensation are most often issues that require the services of a professional. Thus, it is important for you to seek legal advice as soon as possible, to ensure that you will be able to establish the identity of the dog's owner and the availability of insurance coverage to pay out damages.
