Premise Liability Claims – Pit Bulls, Attacks, Maulings and Killings

A few years ago it seemed whenever we filed dog bite cases we’d get contacted by local owners of vicious dogs along with the national and local dog owner’s association, who would tell us we had it all wrong. They would then go on ad nauseam about how a 4-year-old had teased the dog and that the mauling of a toddler was somehow justified. As if the 4-year-old should have known better and that parents who allowed their children to play outside in their own yards, were somehow bad parents. Give me a break.
