As an experienced Buffalo Personal Injury Lawyer, I am often asked what to do if your neighbor’s dog knocked over your child causing injury.
  • People may think New York law awards compensation for injuries caused by a dog only in case of a bite; however, a dog owner can be held responsible for injuries even if there was no bite.
  • To be successful in such cases, the dog must have demonstrated a propensity for the injury-causing behavior such as chasing people – causing them to run, fall, and become injured with no direct contact with the dog.
  • The owner of a dog can be held responsible for injuries if it can be shown that the dog had a propensity for certain behaviors, and such propensities can be demonstrated in several ways.
