What Liability Laws Does New York Have for Dog Bites?
New York follows a “one bite” rule regardless of breed. A dog’s owner can be held liable for an attack or injury caused by their dog if they knew or should have known that their animal had aggressive tendencies. Documentation of the dog’s behavior is needed in order for the dog owner to be held liable. Evidence of a prior bite is one way to show this, but is not the only way to do so.
