INJURED BY DOG JUMPING ON YOU
Dogs love people. However, they can become overexcited to see you. Of course, they also don’t understand the consequences of their actions. If a dog jumps on you and knocks you down, you can be seriously injured. The dog didn’t do it on purpose, but there are repercussions that must be addressed. To start, medical bills must be paid. Minnesota law says the dog owner is responsible for ANY injury caused by their dog. In other words, it is not just a dog bite. If a dog pushed you down or otherwise injured you, the dog owner is responsible. Our lawyers handle these cases every day. Fortunately, the dog owner’s homeowners insurance will pay the required compensation.
Our lawyers have handled cases where a dog pushed a person down the stairs. Also, many cases where a dog knocked someone over on a bicycle or motorcycle. We also sometimes get calls from people who tripped over a dog. Tripping cases are more difficult. It depends on why you tripped on the dog. If you just didn’t see the dog or lost your balance, you may not have a case. However, if the dog somehow got under you and caused you to trip you might have a case. When you call our office, an experienced lawyer will help you worth through these issues.
