Georgia Dog Bite LawyersIf you or a loved one has suffered from an attack by a dog or own a dog that has attacked someone else please contact us for free legal advice. Georgia has very strict and complicated dog bite laws. Our attorneys have been handling dog bite and personal injury law from our offices in Atlanta for over ten years. Regardless of the severity of the situation you should at least consult with an experienced lawyer before speaking to anyone about the dog bite incident. Proving liability in a Georgia dog bite case means that the attorney has to show that the owner of the dog involved in the case was negligent in some manner. This negligence can mean that the owner failed to ensure safety by locking up the dog properly or restraining it from running away from the owner’s control. Negligence can also consist of the owner abusing the dog, involving it in dog fights or other aggressive behaviors or otherwise causing the dog to have an aggressive and uncontrollable personality. Georgia is making efforts to change its liability laws but currently the state has many rules that may make proving liability against a dog owner difficult. The burden is up to the victim to prove that the dog is a dangerous animal and that the owner of the dog was aware of the danger. The victim must also show that the owner’s behavior allowed the incident to take place by not restraining the dog adequately. Because each element must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt you should have the most aggressive and professional Georgia dog bite lawyers that you can find on your side.
