Many dog bite cases settle before trial, but some may proceed to court if a fair settlement is not reached.
Liability is often based on owner responsibility, supervision, and whether reasonable care was exercised to prevent harm.
If the owner is unknown or the dog is stray, liability may fall to city or county animal control programs and the responsible party may still be pursued.
Settlement negotiations involve presenting a demand package, discussing damages, and reaching an agreement or moving toward litigation if needed.
Private property incidents may involve different notice requirements and landlord or property owner responsibilities in addition to the dog owner’s liability.
