Unfortunately, too many dog owners encourage or condone aggressive behavior in their pets, and too many of those dog owners don’t take appropriate precautions to protect innocent passersby.

In New Jersey, with its “strict liability” dog bite law, you can recover for your losses, even if the owner used reasonable measures to restrain the dog, warn others or prevent an attack.
