Contact a New Jersey dog bite attorney from Stark & Stark before speaking with any insurance companies.
While a dog owner’s primary defense is often provocation, it can be very difficult for them to prove. New Jersey’s strict liability law favors the victim. An owner must show that the victim was tormenting or abusing the dog, which is a high standard to meet. A New Jersey dog bite attorney can build a strong case to counter such claims and protect your right to recovery.
Compensation for a dog bite injury claim is usually paid by the pet owner’s homeowners or renters insurance policy. If the owner is uninsured or the coverage is insufficient, it may be necessary to pursue a lawsuit directly against the owner’s personal assets.
The value of a dog bite case can vary. An experienced New Jersey dog bite injury attorney can evaluate multiple factors to provide an informed assessment of your case’s potential value.
New Jersey does not have a statewide leash law, but most municipalities, including those in the Hamilton, Trenton, and Marlton areas, have their own ordinances. A violation of a local leash law can serve as strong evidence of negligence. Speak to a lawyer who can help you understand how this may affect your claim.
Under New Jersey’s strict liability statute, a dog’s history is irrelevant. The owner is responsible for the bite regardless of whether the dog had ever bitten anyone before or shown aggressive tendencies. This legal standard makes it easier for victims to establish liability compared to the laws in many other states.
A New Jersey animal attack can leave you facing physical pain, emotional trauma, and financial uncertainty. You shouldn’t have to navigate a complex legal claim on your own.
At Stark & Stark, we take that burden off your shoulders, standing up to insurance companies and fighting for the compensation you need to rebuild your life. With offices in Hamilton, Marlton, and Yardley, PA, we are strategically located to serve clients across New Jersey.
