Some dog breeds are, by nature, more aggressive than others. Dog owners and keepers are strictly liable for the injuries and property damage caused by their dog, so long as the injured victim was not trespassing or inciting the dog to react aggressively (this exception is treated differently if the victim is a child under the age of seven). Dog bites can be so severe as to require extensive medical treatment and warrant missing time from work and it can be helpful to have a lawyer assist you in receiving compensable damages.
