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.

You can offer a flat fee with a partial contingency instead of hourly billing, but it is up to the lawyer as to whether or not to accept.
