Massachusetts Dog Bite Lawyers
Protecting Victims of Animal Attacks in Taunton
Massachusetts has one of the best laws for the protection of dog bite victims, especially young children. In general, a dog owner or keeper is strictly liable for dog bites unless the victim was trespassing, teasing, tormenting or abusing the dog, or was committing another tort. A child under the age of seven is presumed to have done none of those things, but the presumption is rebuttable.
Most dog bite, dog attack and other animal bite injuries are covered by homeowners insurance. Insurance companies are never to be trusted; their goal is always to pay out the least amount possible, regardless of who is hurt and why. That is why you need the aggressive animal attack law team at Percy Law Group, PC, on your side seeking maximum compensation as soon as possible.

Understanding Dog Bite Cases in Massachusetts
In Massachusetts, homeowners insurance covers liability (bodily injury) and sometimes provides medical payments coverage to the person injured by the dog bite or animal attack. Animal attacks can cause very serious injuries. Dog bites can cause scarring, often facial scarring, and other disfigurement, and often severe psychological trauma. Dog bites on children, because of their small size, are very frequently on the face. The psychological injury caused by a dog bite or dog attack can often be permanent. If a dog attacks a bicyclist or a pedestrian, other injuries may result from being knocked to the ground, including fractures or dislocations.
