Proving a Detroit Dog Bite Claim

In order to handle your Detroit dog bite claim, an attorney at our firm will work to prove specific factors:

• The person you are bringing a claim against is the owner of or is responsible for the dog;
• The dog bit or attacked you;
• You were injured; and
• Your injuries were caused by the dog's actions.

Michigan is a strict liability state in regard to dog bite claims, meaning you do not need to prove that the dog is dangerous or bit someone else in the past. The dog owner will be held liable for the dog's actions regardless of the dog's tendency toward aggression. The only exception may be if you were trespassing on the dog owner's property or acted to provoke the dog in some way.
