| Michigan law provides
that if a dog bites a person, without being provoked, while
that person is lawfully on the property of another, the
owner of the dog is liable for any damages suffered by the
person who was bitten. Essentially,
Michigan law says that, absent provocation, the dog owner is
strictly liable for any damages that their animal caused.
These damages oftentimes include pain and suffering from the
bite itself, past or future medical procedures, loss of
income, fright and shock, and emotional damages caused by
the scars left behind after the bite.
Dog bites can lead to serious damages.
If you or a loved one has been bitten by a dog or any
animal, it is imperative that you consult with an
experienced personal injury attorney to fully evaluate you
claim.
