Understanding Dog Bite Settlements in New Jersey
New Jersey Dog Bite Law
New Jersey follows strict liability for dog bites, meaning dog owners are responsible for injuries their dogs cause, regardless of the dog's prior history or the owner's knowledge of aggressive behavior.
Factors Affecting Settlement
Settlement amounts depend on injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, permanent disabilities, scarring, emotional trauma, and the dog's history. Location of the bite (face vs. extremities) also impacts value.
Time Limits
In New Jersey, you have two years from the date of the dog bite to file a lawsuit. Don't wait – evidence can disappear and witnesses' memories fade over time.
Insurance Coverage
Most dog bite claims are covered by homeowner's or renter's insurance policies. We handle all insurance negotiations to ensure you receive maximum compensation.
