Under New Jersey law, owners of dogs are held strictly responsible for the acts of their pets with very limited exceptions; whereas in New York, it is necessary to prove the animal had known, “vicious propensities,” before liability can be attributed to the owner. These animal attacks can be damaging both mentally and physically. We will work to find out the history of the attacking animal to determine what the owner knew and when. In turn, we can get you the compensation to which you are rightfully entitled.
