Dog Bite Claims in Michigan

Michigan is a strict liability state in regards to dog bites, meaning a dog is not allowed “one free bite” as in some other states. No matter whether the dog has shown aggressive behavior in the past or if it has already bitten someone before, the dog owner may be held liable for the victim’s injuries. The only exception would usually be if the victim was trespassing or provoked the dog in some manner.

The important elements of your dog bite case will be proving that the other party was actually the owner of the dog, that you did not provoke the dog and that the dog bit you and caused your injuries. From there, your lawyer will need to prove the value of your claim so you have the opportunity to recover the monetary damages you need for medical care, future treatment, and more.
