Strict Liability for Dog Bites in Michigan

In Michigan, dog owners have “strict liability” for dog bites. This means they will be considered at fault except for when a trespasser was attacked by the dog, or when someone provoked the dog. Even if the dog had never tried to bite or attack anyone before, the owner is presumed responsible.

Michigan law does have a deadline within which to sue the dog owner, however. If you don’t file a lawsuit within three years of the dog bite, then your case expires.

Injuries Resulting from Dog Bites

A dog bite can be a traumatic event, resulting in serious injury. Multiple deaths are reported each year as a result of the most vicious attacks.

Often, a dog bite or dog attack will result in:

• Permanent scarring
• Nerve damage
• Significant risk of infection
• Severe disfigurement
• Serious lacerations
• Broken bones

Additionally, there is often psychological harm that lasts well beyond the physical injury. Many people who suffer a dog attack develop a new fear of dogs, which can be debilitating in severe cases.
