Can I make a claim if I was bitten on the dog owner's property?

Yes, you may file a claim if you were bitten on the dog owner's property. In New York, property location does not excuse the dog owner from accountability.

At Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys, we understand how dog attacks can cause significant physical and mental distress, and we're here to assist you explore your legal options.

New York has a "one-bite" regulation mixed with strict accountability for known harmful actions. If the dog has a history of hostility, or if the owner failed to take reasonable safeguards, they may be held responsible—even if the attack occurred on their private land. Our legal experts will look into the occurrence, check medical records, and gather evidence to establish a compelling case on your behalf.

Can I make a claim if the dog has never bitten someone before? 
 
Yes, you can still file a claim even if the dog has never bitten someone before. In New York, dog owners may be held accountable for injuries caused by their pets, regardless of the dog's previous behavior. This implies that even if the dog has no history of violence or biting, the owner could still be liable for your injuries.
