Boston Dog Bite Attorney

Dog Bite Overview

As the victim of a dog attack, you deserve aggressive legal representation by an experienced personal injury lawyer. Since 1983, Brian Bagby has been representing victims in personal injury and wrongful death claims and lawsuits throughout Boston, Massachusetts. As an experienced Boston injury attorney, he recognizes the physical and emotional issues associated with a dog bite, as well as the lasting financial difficulties serious dog bite injuries can cause.

In Massachusetts, a dog owner is strictly liable for injuries that their dog causes in the case of an attack. While in some other states a dog may be allowed “one free bite”, Massachusetts statutes hold the dog owner liable even if the dog had no history of aggression or had never previously bitten anyone. As such, your lawyer must instead prove that the defendant owned the dog, that the dog attacked and injured you, and that you were not trespassing or did not provoke the dog to attack.
