New Jersey Dog Bite Law
There is no such thing as a free bite under New Jersey law. An owner is liable for damages even if the dog never attacked before or even if it not a "dangerous breed." If the dog's owner does not have adequate insurance, a landlord or third party may also be liable — if they had knowledge of a dog's vicious propensity and failed to take action. We cover all angles to make sure our clients are fully compensated for:
- Lacerations, punctures and stitches
- Scarring or plastic surgery
- Nerve damage or infections
- Painful rabies shots for the victim
- Injuries suffered in escaping an attack
- Emotional trauma
Children are the most common victims of dog bites, and often receive the worst injuries. We represented a young girl who required several major reconstructive surgeries from bite wounds to her nose and cheeks. We recovered a substantial settlement for her.
The successful trial lawyers of Lombardi and Lombardi have obtained more than $250 million in personal injury settlements and verdicts in 30 years of practice.
