South Carolina Dog Bite Law: Greater Compensation for Known Dangers
In South Carolina, a dog owner or any person caring for an animal is strictly liable for any injuries caused by that animal. This means that it is unnecessary to show that the dog had a history of biting or attacking before holding its owner responsible.
Many times, a dog owner’s negligence was the cause of the attack. Many pet owners allow their animals to run free, off of their leashes, while at public beaches and local parks. Not only does this give dogs free reign to bite innocent bystanders, but even dogs that do not attack may run into children and adults, causing them to fall and become injured.
If the owner had reason to know his or her pet may attack but continued to expose the public to his or her dangerous animal, increased awards may be available.
What Compensation is Available in Animal Attack Cases?
Personal injury compensation for animal attack cases may include support for financial hardships caused by medical bills, lost wages and damage to property. Attorney Fata may also pursue damages that make up for scarring, permanent injuries, and pain and suffering caused when an individual is attacked by a dog.
