Pet owners are responsible for their pets, and are accountable in the event their pet injures a person. A person who has control or owns a vicious animal can be liable for personal injuries caused by that animal. When an animal attacks a person, the injuries can be severe. In addition to the medical expenses, physical scars, and disfigurement, the victim of such an attack may suffer emotional scarring for years. With regard to physical scars, attorney Rawlings is experienced in scar valuation, and at the time of settlement, can accurately assess the amount of your damages.

Dog owners who take the time to responsibly own and socialize their dogs can prevent most dog bites. Dog owners need to keep their dogs healthy and follow leash laws. In addition, dog owners should socialize their dogs to feel at ease around people and other animals. Since dog bites are a largely preventable public health problem, Utah law makes the owners and keepers of dogs strictly liable for the injuries and bites caused by their dogs.
