In the state of Colorado, pet owners are responsible for ensuring that their animals don’t harm others. Unfortunately, some dogs may behave violently, causing physical injury or even death. When this occurs, the dog’s owner may be responsible for economic damages and/or non-economic damages.

Understanding Dog Bite Cases

Dog bite cases most often arise when a dog bites someone who is lawfully present on private or public property. The specifics of these cases will depend on several factors, including:

• The severity of the injuries involved
• Whether the dog was known to be violent before the bite

Even in cases where the dog had not shown any prior signs of aggression, victims may still be entitled to compensation.
