In New Jersey, dog owners are strictly liable for injuries caused by their dogs, regardless of the animal’s previous behavior or the owner’s knowledge of any aggressive tendencies.
This “strict liability” law applies to bites occurring in public places or when the victim is lawfully on private property. Our experienced dog bite attorneys can evaluate how the strict liability rule applies in your dog bite case and customize a legal strategy to seek the compensation you need.
