Pet Tales: Dog bites cost almost half a billion dollars

Most people are too complacent about the dangers of themselves being bitten or their own pet biting someone. Remember, dogs, cats and other household pets are animals. Under the right situation, any animal will bite. Some will have to be pushed to extreme measures or be in a tremendous amount of pain first, but they can and will bite. Every year we encounter individuals who have been bitten by their own pet, who in almost any circumstance would be considered an extremely friendly and social animal. They go to pick them up after they have been hit by an automobile or severely injured in another manner, and they end up getting bitten. Animal bites occur most often to young children.

In a decision dated December 21, 2012, the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, found that a paid pet sitter can recover for damages due to injuries suffered from being bitten by a dog that was in her care. In Hillary Aiges, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Jane Levine Fuccillo and William Fuccillo, Defendants- respondents, Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, Docket No. A-1273-11t1, the court addressed whether dog owners can be held liable if their dog bit the person whom they've paid to care for it. In order to fully understand the issue, a review of New Jersey law is in order. When it comes to dog bites, New Jersey is a "strict liability" state. In other words, legal liability is strictly imposed by state law (statute) on the owner of a dog that bites someone.
