INDICATIONS A CANINE IS GETTING READY TO CHOMP UTAH LAWS FOR DOG-BITE CASES
W hen it comes to dog bites, Utah law states that “every person owning or keeping a dog shall be liable in damages for injury committed by such dog.” In short, this means that under Utah law, if a dog bites you, the owners of the dog become strictly liable. To prevent dog-bite injuries, nearly every city in the state requires owners to keep their dog on a leash. Sadly, in the vast majority of dog-bite cases, children end up being the victims due to their playful and curious nature. Of course, no one wants to place blame on pets or children in traumatizing accidents like these. But even if the child provoked the dog through unwanted petting, hugging, or playing, the onus still falls on the pet’s owner to guarantee that attacks do not occur. More often than not, dogs will give some kind of physical indication to warn humans of their discomfort before a bite actually occurs. According to Barkpost.com, there are several signs that a dog is about to bite.

of visual fixation on a perceived threat, which can be a bite warning.
Dog bites can result in a lot of emotional trauma and medical expenses, and filing a claim in these situations can be very confusing and overwhelming. If you, a friend, or a loved one has been bitten by a dog, you should act quickly to preserve your claim. If you have any questions or need advice, be sure to give our office a call.
