When a dog bites or otherwise attacks a person, the owner can be held liable. Often, such liability is covered by a homeowner's insurance policy of the dog owner. To prove liability for a dog attack, general negligence factors are analyzed. Basically, if the owner knew or should have known that the dog was capable of biting or attacking a human, they could be held liable for the injuries. Furthermore, if the owner is in violation of any governmental regulation such as leash or containment laws or regulations, the liability could be greater.
