Rhode Island Dog Bite Laws

Rhode Island is a strict liability state, meaning that dog owners can be held responsible for any injuries inflicted by their dogs. However, the strict liability dog bite law may not apply to incidents that occur when the dog is in an enclosed area on the owner’s property. In this situation, common law liability applies.

You may be entitled to compensation from the dog’s owner if:

  • The attack occurred anywhere outside of the dog’s enclosure
  • The attack was unprovoked and occurred in the dog’s enclosure, but the owner knew of the dog’s vicious propensities
  • The dog that attacked you injured someone else in the past
  • You were not physically bitten, but your injuries stemmed from the dog’s behavior

The dog bite law applies to anyone who is the “keeper” of the dog. With the help of a Warwick dog bite lawyer from Sands Law Offices, you may be able to recover money that can help you rebuild and move on with your life.

Let us handle your dog bite claim so you can focus on healing. Contact us at (401) 297-2816 to schedule a free consultation today.
