When dogs are unfriendly, they often reveal their temperament by barking and snarling. But ill-tempered dogs can also reveal themselves suddenly, running across a street or jumping a fence to attack a person or pet. To help prevent such attacks, Pennsylvania has a dangerous dog law that prevents people from harboring dangerous dogs.

If a dog has injured you or your pet, call a Philadelphia personal injury lawyer at Console & Hollawell today.

Pennsylvania’s Dangerous Dog Law

In Pennsylvania, a dangerous dog case has three elements. To establish the first element, the dog must meet one or more of the following criteria:

It has caused severe injury to a person on private or public property without being provoked;It has killed or caused severe injury to a domestic animal while not on its owner’s property without being provoked;It has attacked a person without being provoked; orIt has been used to commit a crime.

To establish the second element, the dog must meet one or more of the following criteria:

It has a history of attacking people and/or domestic animals without being provoked; orIt has the tendency to attack people and/or domestic animals without being provoked. A prior incident can prove this element.

The third element of a dangerous dog case is that the defendant must be the dog’s owner or keeper.

The Purpose of the Law

The dangerous dog law is designed to ensure that a dog is in fact dangerous –and that its behavior cannot be tied to self-defense – before any legal action is taken.
