Who Is Responsible for a Dog Attack?

In New York, dog owners are responsible for injuries if their dog had a known history of aggressive behavior—also known as a “vicious propensity.” That can include:


  • Prior bites or attempted attacks
  • Lunging, growling, or snapping
  • Owner warnings like “keep away” or “do not pet”
  • A dog being kept on a short chain, muzzle, or behind reinforced fencing


Even if you don’t know the dog’s history, we’ll investigate the incident, look into past complaints, and build a case.

Frequently Asked Question – Dog Bite Claims in NY

  • Can I still sue if the bite happened on private property?

    Yes. Whether the attack happened in a home, apartment, or fenced yard, you may still have a valid claim.

  • What if the owner says I provoked the dog?

    That may affect the case, but it doesn’t eliminate your rights. We’ll examine the facts and push back against any unfair blame.

  • What if I don’t know the dog’s history?

    We can investigate. Prior complaints, neighbor statements, or medical records may support the claim even if no one admits the dog was dangerous.
