Nevada is a One Bite State, But Owners Can Be Liable For Negligence, Too
Dog owners aren’t strictly liable for dog bite injuries unless they knew or should have known the animal had aggressive tendencies. However, this doesn’t mean you’re out of luck if you’re bitten by a dog that hasn’t bitten anyone else before.
Dog owners in North Las Vegas have to maintain reasonable control over their animal. If an owner allows their dog to roam freely, violates local leash laws, or doesn’t have proper fencing in their yard to keep the animal contained, they can potentially be considered negligent and, in turn, liable if that dog attacks you.
There are even times when property owners, including landlords and business owners, can be liable for a dog bite if they’re negligent, too. Benson & Bingham knows how to explore the issue of liability, build a claim that proves fault, and help dog bite victims win their cases for maximum compensation.
