Legal Advice and AnimalsWhat can I do if my dog bites my neighbor? If your dog bites your neighbor, it depends on the circumstances; however, for the most part, you are responsible and the neighbor can file a strict liability charge against you, which means you are responsible to pay for the damage caused, including but not limited to medical expenses, psychological expenses, and other expenses, such as court costs and so forth.Strict Liability cases are next to impossible to get out of, but if your neighbor holds any responsibility, then it is possible you may have an excuse with the courts. In other words, if your neighbor walks freely up to the pet that is tied properly on a chain knowing the animal is aggressive, then you might have a chance in a courtroom. Strict Liability is often automatic responsibility. In this particular liability case, the plaintiff (accuser) rarely has to prove beyond doubt that the animal caused the harm. Thus, if you have an aggressive pet, it is wise to have third party pet insurance to cover your grounds in the event your pet attacks another individual. The best legal advice you will get is to have third party liability coverage, coupled with following strict rules, such as keeping the pet in a pen or on a chain, and never allowing him/her to run free. You may also want to check the laws in your state, since some states have laws against particularly aggressive pets, such as Bull Dogs, Pit Bulls, German Shepherds and so forth. Finally, third party travel pet insurance is also great to have, since if you travel frequently with your pet, and that pet causes damage or harm to someone, you are liableand will be responsible for paying for any bills associated with an incident.
