Although dogs are widely regarded as loving, faithful, and friendly animals, there is always a chance a dog may attack or bite a person. When a person is bitten by dog, it can lead to a number of serious injuries, including infection, permanent scarring, disfigurement, broken bones, and more. In addition, a dog bite or attack can also lead to emotional or psychological trauma that could affect a person for years to come.
If you or someone in your family has been bitten or attacked by a dog, you have the right to sue the dog owner for compensation. Under Michigan law, dog owners will be held liable for any injuries sustained in a dog bite or attack. Even if the dog never exhibited signs of aggression or bit a person in the past, the owner will still be responsible for paying damages. The only case in which a dog owner may not be held liable for a dog bite injury is if you were trespassing or committing a crime on the dog owner's property, or if you teased or tormented the dog.
