Anoka/Elk River Dog Bite Attorney

It is imperative that you contact Malzahn Law, Ltd. if you or a loved one has been bitten or attacked by a dog or other animal. The law firm of Malzahn Law, Ltd., has a thorough understanding of Minnesota dog bite laws.

Dog Bite Liability

Under Minnesota law, the dog owner is liable for the damages to an individual caused by a dog bite or attack. This is considered a strict liability claim by statute. A common misconception that many people have is the, “one bite rule”. In other words, many people think that a dog owner cannot be held liable for a dog bite or attack unless the offending dog had bitten someone once before.

This is simply not the case. A victim of a dog bite or attack is entitled to pursue a claim against the dog owner, normally through their homeowners insurance, for all of their damages including medical bills, physical disfigurement, physical injury, loss of earnings, and more.
