Milwaukee ● Racine ● Green Bay ● Wausau ● Animal Attack Attorneys
Wisconsin law imposes what is referred to as "strict liability" upon owners for injuries caused by their dogs. Liability can also be extended to "keepers" or "harborers" of a dog. This means that under Wisconsin law an injured party does not need to prove that the dog owner was negligent in order to be compensated for his or her injuries. Certain public policy exceptions may come into play, depending upon the facts of your case so you should consult with an experienced attorney such as the dog bite attorneys at Mingo & Yankala.
Since Wisconsin recognizes the inherent dangers associated with a dog, especially where that dog has exhibited dangerous conduct in the past that is known by the owner, the victim may be entitled to recover double damages. The experienced dog bite attorneys at Mingo & Yankala can assist in determining whether a victim of a dog bite is entitled to double his or her damages.
