Dog Bite Center
The dog bite statute, MCL 287.351, provides that if a dog bites a person, without provocation while the person is on public property,
or lawfully on private property,
including the property of the owner of the dog, the owner of the dog shall be liable for any damages suffered by the
person bitten, regardless of the former viciousness of the dog or the owner's knowledge of such viciousness.
A person is lawfully on the private property of the owner of the dog within the meaning of this act if the person
is on the owner's property in the performance of any duty imposed upon him or her by the laws of this state or by the
laws or postal regulations of the United States, or if the person is on the owner's property as an invitee or licensee of
the person lawfully in possession of the
property unless said person has gained lawful entry upon the premises for the purpose of an unlawful or criminal act.
If you have suffered an injury such as scarring, broken bones, punture wounds, etc. as a result of a dog bite you may be
entitled to compensation. Please contact our attorneys today for a free consulation.
