Liability for Dog Bites & Animal Attacks in Pennsylvania

In Pennsylvania, dog owners are held strictly liable for medical costs if their animal bites or attacks another person. This means that they must pay for the victim’s medical treatment regardless of whether the dog was “dangerous” and showed aggression or attacked someone in the past. It is important to note, however, that a dog bite victim must prove negligence to pursue additional compensation, beyond medical costs.

To recover money for lost earnings, emotional trauma, or additional damages, a dog bite victim must prove:

  • The dog previously bit another person, without justification.
  • The dog indicated a tendency to bite or attack, without justification.
  • The dog owner was in violation of leash laws or other ordinances relating to the dog’s confinement, leashing, or care.
