At Altman & Altman, LLP, we understand that a dog bite can be both a physically and an emotionally traumatic event, often resulting in serious injuries, scarring, disfigurement, nerve damage, or death. In addition, these attacks can cause permanent psychological harm. In many cases, the victim of a dog bite has a legal right to recover damages.

If you have been attacked by a dog in Massachusetts and suffer from injuries, the owner of the dog may be held liable because Massachusetts is a strict liability state with respect to dog bites. The owner does not need to be negligent in order to be held responsible for the damages caused by the dog. In addition, it is not necessary to prove that the dog is vicious or has caused any injuries in the past. It is, however, necessary to prove the defendant's ownership of the dog, that there was no trespassing, and that the victim did not provoke the dog.

Our experienced Boston dog bite lawyers have successfully handled numerous dog bite claims, recovering damages for victim's medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss in quality of life.
