A dog bite has the potential to cause serious injury. The animal's sharp canines can make deep puncture wounds, tear flesh, or even cause infections. Often, such harm requires medical attention that results in substantial expenses. If you were bitten by a dog and suffered injuries, you should not be responsible for paying associated costs. Fortunately, in Nebraska, you are entitled to take legal action against the dog's owner and seek to recover compensation for damages.

Nebraska Dog Bite Law

The Nebraska dog bite law provides that dog owners are strictly liable for damages their pet causes. That means they can be held financially responsible regardless of whether or not they were negligent or intended to cause harm.

Additionally, Nebraska's dog bite law does not apply if a person was trespassing on someone else's property when the animal attacked.

Legal Action Against Dog Owner in NE
