Dog Bite There are no bad dogs, only negligent owners who fail to properly train or lease their dog. Lead attorney John Choi has owned several dogs which has provided valuable insight into handling dog bite claims. When a person is injured by a dog, the owner of the dog or the property owner may be liable. Usually a ''home owner's'' insurance policy usually provides coverage. If the incident occured on rented property, then the landlord's property insurance may provide coverage. There are several things to consider. Were there any prior incidents of injury to humans by that dog? What did the owner of the dog do to restrain the dog? Was the dog provoked? Hawaii has a dangerous dog law. Did the dog fall under that law? If it did, what did the owner do to protect the public from that dog? In previous cases, we have hired professional licensed dog trainers to examine the dog and provide a report to the court on the dog's character and nature. |
