Dog Bites
Unfortunately, unprovoked as well as unpredictable dog attacks are capable of causing a significant amount of damage to victims. Injuries of the kind can result in extensive scarring, severe nerve damage, and lacerations to your body and face as well as a wide range of other consequences. Even though we consider the dog to be the man’s best friend, accidents tend to happen for a lot of different reasons, including lack of training and socializing the animal as well as due to the negligence of the owner.
The Legislation of Ontario
The act which governs this type of injuries is the Dog Owner’s Liability Act. It was set forth in 1990. With this in mind, the current legislation is very protective and has instituted mandatory muzzle and leash laws as well. However, some owners knowingly choose to ignore these rules and they let their dogs off their leashes in public spaces such as parks and even on the street. This could quickly turn to be a prerequisite for a vicious dog bite that leads to some of the traumatic injuries laid out above.
When this happens, the victim is entitled to seek out legal compensation and recovery of the damages due to dog bite injuries that were sustained. The legal notice is sent directly from the owner of the dog. However, the procedure isn’t simple and straightforward and the need of a professional personal injury lawyer is evident. This is why the legal professionals at EFPC & Associates have qualified experience in dealing with such cases and possess the necessary resources.
