What Is a Dog Bite Injury Claim?<\/h2>\n

A dog bite injury claim is a legal case for damages (money compensation) arising from a dog bite or dog-related injury, filed against the dog owner or their insurance company. Under Georgia’s strict liability statute (O.C.G.A. \u00a7 51-2-7)<\/a>, the dog owner is automatically liable if their dog bites you in a public place or while you’re lawfully on private property\u2014you don’t have to prove the owner was careless or knew the dog was dangerous. The claim covers all costs and harm caused by the bite: medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, scarring, and psychological injury like fear or anxiety.<\/p>\n
