Understanding North Carolina Dog Bite Laws
Unlike some states, North Carolina follows a
"strict liability" rule in certain cases, meaning an owner can be held responsible if their dog has a history of aggression. Other cases may require proving negligence, such as an owner failing to properly restrain their dog.
What Damages Can You Recover?
Dog bite victims can seek compensation for
medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. In severe cases, plastic surgery or long-term therapy may be necessary, adding to financial burdens. Our team fights to ensure you get the compensation you need.
