Is the landlord liable for my dog bite?

David F. Stoddard
Answered by attorney David F. Stoddard (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at The David F. Stoddard Law Firm
The tenant would be liable. Whether the landlord would be liable as well depends on whether the landlord had a right and a duty to remove the dog. As to the right to remove the dog, you would have to refer t the lease agreement if there is one, and see what kinds of things would be a violation of the lease, and whether the dog comes within any of the lease violations. Landlords have duty to keep the premises safe and habitable. This usually means following all applicable codes. There may be no duty to remove a dog such as this. Although liability may not be clear, it is probably worth pursuing if the injury is serious. Liability has been found in analogous situations at hotels where a guest is attacked, and the hotel was on notice that acts of violence are frequent in the are and fails to take appropriate precautions for guests. I do not know if this same reasoning has been extended to Landlord Tenant relationships.

What attorney can help me if I was injured while in prison?

David F. Stoddard
Answered by attorney David F. Stoddard (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at The David F. Stoddard Law Firm
You need to contact a Personal Injury lawyer. Probably in Richland County where the S.C. Department of Corrections is located, or the county where you are incarcerated. However, the inmate that attacked you (I assume it was an inmate) is likely the only one liable. The DOC may not be liable unless you can show that they were negligent. For example, you say no staff was present.
