Indiana and Michigan Dog Bite Laws

Nearly all states have a set of “dangerous dog” or “vicious dog” laws. These laws attempt to define what we should consider a “dangerous dog” or even a “potentially dangerous dog,” and under what circumstances an owner will be liable for the actions of these dogs.

Some states impose what is called “strict liability” on dog owners for any injury resulting from a dog that is regarded as dangerous regardless of any knowledge of the dog’s tendencies. These strict liability laws may also limit the ability of the owner to claim a defense to the action. In other words, the law may state that the owner is liable regardless of whether the person who was bitten was trespassing on the owner’s property or whether the owner knew the dog was vicious.
