Until recently Colorado had what is known as the "one free bite rule." This basically meant that a dog's owner was not liable for injury caused by his dog unless the dog was known to have vicious propensities or was of a breed known to be vicious. Victims of dog attacks can now recover their medical bills and perhaps other economic losses regardless of whether the dog had bit someone before. Many dog bites are more startling or scary than anything. Some don't even break the skin. However, some dog bites can leave permanent disfiguring scars or more vicious attacks can even result in death.
It is important to report any animal attacks to the proper authority immediately. This will ensure that appropriate evidence is maintained and that others will not suffer the same fate.
Contact attorney Dallas D. Norton, Esq. for a free consultation with an experienced personal injury lawyer if you or your child suffered serious injuries from dog bites. Colorado negligence law relating to animal attacks can be complicated, and you will probably need professional advice to recover the full range of damages that could result from the incident.
We know how to prove liability and damages in dog bite cases.
We know how to investigate dog bite cases to give you the strongest possible chance of success even in "first-bite" cases. What breed was the dog? What measures did the owner take to protect you or the general public? How was the dog treated or trained? Did the attack occur where small children were likely to be present? Was the dog provoked? Were there any witnesses? Have the neighbors, delivery people or the postman ever been intimidated or bitten by the dog?
It is often easier to prove a case when the dog has either bitten someone before or is a breed of dog known to have viscious propensities. According to the Center for Disease Control, the top ten most dangerous dogs are:
1. Pit Bull2. Rottweiler3. German Shepherd4. Huskie5. Alaskan Malamute6. Doberman Pinscher7. Chow Chows8, Great Dane9. St. Bernard10.AkitaFor a free consultation about your rights in the aftermath of a severe dog bite incident, contact experienced personal injury Dallas D. Norton, Esq.
