A High Level Primer on How We Handle Ontario Dog Bite Injury Claim Process
- In Ontario, dog attack injury cases are governed by the Dog Owner's Liability Act, and the evolving case law. The attacking dog's party, often sheltered by their insurance company's trained adjusters or their lawyers, takes the full advantage of existing uncertainty and complexity of law, leaving no stones unturned to deny liability or to minimize damages. They utilize every opportunity to kill the case or offer an unjustly and unworthy settlement. They willfully ignore the full extent of your physical or mental pain and trauma, and they destroy or minimize the damage evidences. Our two dog bite lawyers have dedicated their entire career so that none of these could happen in your dog bite case.
- We navigate the dog bite injury compensation regime for your best interest. We establish dog owner's liability, and the full extent of claimable damages, taking into account every possible way you have suffered from the dog attack injury, both physically and emotionally, and we never let the dog owner's agents and lawyers lose sight of the full truth of your harms and losses.
- While you go through the healing process, our Ontario dog bite injury lawyer pursues and curves out a strong case for you. With strong ethical advocacy in light of law and evidence, we ensure an optimum just settlement that caters to your best interest.
- And if out-of-court settlement doesn't work, then we sue the responsible parties in the Ontario's legal system. Sometimes a dog bite lawsuit or court trial may be the last but necessary resort to justice, and we know how to win dog bite cases in the court so that you get a full and just monetary damage recovery. Judges in Ontario do not see dog bite cases often, which makes it a minefield for inexperienced or generalist lawyers to present a poor case to the judge, resulting in a poor compensation for a serious injury, and our Toronto Mississauga specialized Dog Bite Injury lawyers work hard to avoid all such poor results from the onset of a claim process.
Types of Dog Attack Injuries that are Legally Actionable in Ontario
In Ontario, dog attack accidents resulting claimable injury usually involve dog bites. Dog attack accidents may also include dog paw scratches, bodily thrusts by dogs etc. A person need not be bitten or even touched by a dog to suffer a personal injury. For example: a child walking or a woman riding a bicycle can be chased by an attacking dog resulting in a serious injury to the child or the woman as they accidentally fall down and hit hard surface in an attempt to evade the charging dog.
Dog attacks, resulting in accidental injuries, can be:
Aggressive: Some dogs are aggressive in nature, making them prone to bite another person in their pre-emptive aggression to protect themselves, their territory or their master.
Non Aggressive: Sometimes a dog may become excited and may jump in an attacking fashion or bite a person, although it may not be an act of full aggression. Dogs have their bad days.
Both aggressive and non-aggressive dog attacks causing injuries, irrespective of the dog's past propensity to bite or attack humans or animals, can potentially be legally actionable in Ontario, giving right to make a monetary claim for damages against the dog owner, under the scheme of personal injury or tort law.
The term 'Dog Owner' is defined broadly in Ontario for legal claim purposes, and a 'dog owner' for dog attack personal injury legal claim purposes may include private individuals, corporations or the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).
Even though, dog attack legal claims fall under the general purview of personal injury or negligence law, nevertheless, the unique pain and trauma that an animal attack entails make dog bite victims uniquely vulnerable, and unlike any other field of personal injury law. Yet, in Ontario, Dog Bite Law is often neglected or sidelined. This is why we have decided a career as Dog Bite Lawyers, specializing in Ontario Dog Bite Injury Law.
