There is a special dynamic when injury cases, particularly dog bite cases go to the jury. It often seems like the jury (and sometimes, judges) believe that someone should pay for the injury, for the human pain and suffering.
They seem to fall into two categories: 1  One âfree biteâ meaning the owner cannot be held liable for the first bite as there was no expectation that the dog may harm someone and so they canât be held liable. 2  Strict liability, where the owner is liable no matter what, the fact of ownership assigns the liability.
