Dog Owner Responsibility Explained: How New York Laws Protect Bite Victims

In New York, dog owners are legally responsible if their pets injure someone. Recent changes in the law make it easier for victims to hold owners accountable, even if the dog has never bitten before. Owners must keep their dogs under control and take precautions to prevent attacks.
Victims need to show three main things: the owner had a duty to control the dog, the dog was dangerous or the owner acted carelessly, and this caused the injury. Evidence like medical records, witness statements, photos, and reports can strengthen a claim.
