DOG BITE INJURY 

Dogs can be friendly. But like humans, they can be terribly dangerous and pose danger to anyone whom they feel threatened by their presence. But unlike humans, at all given time, throughout their lifespan, they must be under the supervision of the owners. Thus, any damage caused by the dog can be attributed to the act and responsibility of the owner.

Ontario’s Dog Owners Liability Act puts the full responsibility of the actions of their dogs on the owners. Dog owners have the responsibility to ensure that their dogs do not cause injury to anyone or damage to any property. The Dog Owners Liability Act provides remedy for such action but not until the victim or the owner has untangled the often complex legal documents to unleash the power of the legislative instruments to make concrete arguments to their defense.

Dogs can cause serious injury and sometimes, even death. But while there are legislative instruments to help resolve and compensate victims, both parties will require legal assistance to correctly use the law to their benefit. Contact Oppong Wiafe Legal Firm now to help you untangle the complex legal documents and unleash the remedies available to you. We can help.
