Dog Attacks In Oregon

July 7th, 2008

Over the weekend, a lady was mauled by a Great Dane/Bull Mastiff. She was out walking her dog as the large 150 lbs dog ran out of its fence and attacked. She is still in the hospital after being operated on for numerous wounds.

It is unknown what set the dog off, but police later found its owner dead. The owner had a heart attack while mowing the lawn. It is possible that the death of its owner set the dog off and it was able to leave the fenced yard because the fence was open to mow.

It is always important to understand that dogs can be set off by anything at anytime. Even if you know the dog, a death of an owner could in fact change the behavior of the animal. When you are out walking or on a bicycle, always look at your surroundings. You need to be aware of any dogs loose.

If you are attacked by a dog in the state of Oregon, contact an Oregon attorney that is familiar with the dog laws.

Dog Bites In Stores And Restaurants And Other Public Places In Oregon And Washington State

May 29th, 2008

Dogs are everywhere more than ever before. With more dogs comes more bites and injuries to others who go to places people bring their dogs, places like coffee shops, restaurants, and grocery stores.

The businesses who allow dog owners to bring their dogs to their businesses will be secondarily liable as the owner will have primary liability. In handling dog bites cases for the last 17 years I have found that most dog owners will say “My dog will never bite” you whenever one asks them to move their dog.

Most owners who have dogs that bite people are usually in a state of denial when their dog bites so its best to ensure you get all their info down and talk right away to a lawyer to protect your rights after you get looked at in the ER and have reported the case to your county animal control office.

Dog Bite Injury From Bull Mastiff Dog In Washington County In The State Of Oregon

March 20th, 2008

A young child was recently attacked by a bull mastiff in Washington County in the State of Oregon. The Washington County District Attorney’s Office or the “DA” has now announced that there will no criminal charges filed. The owners of the dog could have been criminally charged with either a felony, misdemeanor or a violation.

Since Oregon now has a strict liability law for civil claims but only on the medical and out of pocket bills for dog bites. There may be ramifications for the civil case if the parents decide to pursue the claim. Civil dog bite cases in Oregon are fact specific and will depend upon a comprehensive review of the facts by a skilled lawyer who understands dog bite law.
