North Carolina Laws Regarding Dog Bites

The state of North Carolina enforces a "one free bite" rule. This means that the dog must have shown vicious propensity in the past for the owner to be held liable for any subsequent attacks. For certain breeds of dogs — such as pit bulls — this is easy. However, for mellow breeds, it may be more difficult to prove that the dog has either bitten someone in the past, or that it displayed vicious behavior.

Serious Injuries

Dog bites often result in serious injuries, specifically to the face and neck. Many dog bite victims require reconstructive surgery to repair cosmetic damage. Many are left with permanent scarring and disfigurement. Many injuries are complicated by dangerous infections caused by exposure to bacteria-rich saliva.

If you have suffered a serious injury after a dog mauling, contact a Raleigh dog bite attorney as soon as possible. Our law firm can investigate the accident to determine liability, and help you seek compensation to cover current and long-term expenses associated with your injury.
