However, depending on the dog and the dog owner, you may not be sure if you are able to recover monetary compensation for any injuries that you sustained with a personal injury lawsuit. Because of this, it is invaluable to seek legal advice and representation from an experienced Maryland dog bite attorney to help you strategize about the best possible outcome for your situation.
Dog Bites in Maryland
In most states, the law that is generally followed in regards to dog bites is the one bite rule. Under this law, most dog owners are not held liable the first time their dog bites another person. However once a dog has bitten someone, then that dog is considered to have shown vicious behavior and from then on, the dog owner be held liable for future injuries caused by that dog.
In Maryland, an owner of a dog can be held liable if one of two things occur – the victim was on the the dog owner’s property lawfully and did not provoke the dog or if it can be proven that the owner knew or should have known of the dog’s vicious behavior.
