New Jersey Dog Bite Laws Protect Victims

If you’ve been bitten by a dog in New Jersey, the law is on your side. Unlike some states, New Jersey follows a strict liability rule, meaning dog owners are responsible for injuries caused by their dog — even if the dog has never bitten anyone before.

What This Means for Your Case

  • You do not have to prove the dog had a history of aggression
  • The owner can still be held responsible even if it was the first bite
  • You may be entitled to compensation if the attack caused injuries

What You May Be Able to Recover

Dog bite victims in New Jersey may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (including emergency care and surgery)
  • Lost income or reduced ability to work
  • Pain and suffering
  • Permanent scarring or disfigurement
  • Emotional trauma

Every case is different — but if you were bitten, it’s important to understand your rights before speaking with an insurance company.

Types of Dog Bite Cases We Handle

Every dog bite situation is different. Whether the attack happened at home, in a public place, or on the job, we help victims across New Jersey understand their rights and pursue compensation.

Child Dog Bite Injuries

Children are the most vulnerable to serious dog attacks, often resulting in facial injuries and long-term trauma.

Workplace Dog Attacks

We represent delivery drivers, postal workers, contractors, and others bitten while on the job.

Dog Bites in Homes or Private Property

Many attacks happen at a friend’s, neighbor’s, or relative’s home — you may still have a valid claim.

Dog Attacks in Public Places

Parks, sidewalks, and shared spaces are common locations for unexpected dog bites.

Severe Injury and Scarring Cases

We handle cases involving permanent scarring, disfigurement, and reconstructive surgery.

Repeat or Aggressive Dog Attacks

Even if the dog has bitten before, the owner may still be fully liable under New Jersey law.

If you’ve been bitten by a dog, you deserve clear answers, experienced representation, and someone who will fight for the best possible outcome.
