Delmont, NJ Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

Massachusetts imposes strict liability for dog bites, which means you are on the hook regardless of why your dog bit. Where you can stop him is in the damages. It sounds as though you have a fairly solid defense against claims of damages. You should retain a defense attorney to handle this for you, especially where you are uninsured. You may still have to pay something, but it will probably be far less than if there were a real injury.

You can certainly sue those who attacked you. However, if they do not own anything, then there is not much point in such a suit. You can sue the owner if you can prove he put the attackers up to it (as opposed to them spontaneously attacking you without any conspiracy on his part), or if you could show that he was negligent in having inadequate security, or in failing to call on his security to prevent the attack.
