Attorney David W. White Discusses Massachusetts Dog Bite Law Following Mansfield Dog Attack
Attorney David W. White explained Massachusetts law regarding dog bites on Fox 25 TV Boston. When someone is injured by a dog in Massachusetts, they can file a lawsuit in civil court to recover damages. White said the law holds dog owners strictly liable for dog attacks, only providing a few exceptions. These include if an injured person is tormenting a dog or trespassing on another person's property. However, when children suffer dog bites, there is a presumption the child was not teasing or tormenting the dog.
