HOW CAN WE HELP?

Washington State Dog Bite Laws

Under Washington law (RCW 16.08.040), dog owners are liable for dog attacks so long as the person attacked was legally allowed to be in the space where the dog bit them (e.g. you weren’t breaking and entering).

If you were on the sidewalk, in a park, a guest in a home, or at a business, then the dog owner is liable for your injuries.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does the location of a dog bite incident affect a legal claim?

Yes. Whether the bite occurred on public or private property may be relevant when evaluating the facts and legal issues involved in the case.

2. What evidence can help support a dog bite injury claim?

Photographs of injuries, medical records, witness information, animal control reports, and documentation of the incident may all be useful evidence.

3. Can a dog bite claim include compensation for future medical treatment?

In some cases, future medical expenses may be considered if ongoing treatment is reasonably related to the injuries caused by the attack.

4. What if a child is injured in a dog attack?

Children often suffer serious physical and emotional injuries from dog attacks. Special legal considerations may apply when the injured person is a minor.

5. Is it important to identify the dog’s owner after an attack?
