In Ontario, dog bites or attacks are governed by the Dog Owners’ Liability Act. The Act makes the “owner” of a dog liable for all damages resulting from a dog bite or dog attack on a person or another domestic animal. It is not necessary for the dog to bite and break the skin before an action can be commenced. If you have been injured as the result of a dog scratch, being jumped on or knocked down by a dog, or even tripping and falling as the result of an attack by a dog, the Act may apply and you may have a claim against the owner of the dog. The Dog Bites Injury Lawyers of Paciocco& Mellow can review the law with you and tell you whether or not you have a claim.
