Strict Liability in New Jersey Dog Bite Cases
Under New Jersey law, a dog owner may be held strictly liable for injury caused by their animal. This means that it is not necessary to prove that a dog has attacked a person before in order to win your case or even that the owner was negligent.
In fact, one of the only defenses in these cases is to accuse the dog bite victim of trespassing on the dog owner's property. Children, however, are not considered capable of illegal trespass under the law. In other words, if your child was bitten, the dog's owner will almost certainly be held liable.
