Understanding North Carolina Dog Bite Laws
North Carolina follows what is commonly known as the “one-bite rule,” but the state’s laws regarding dog owner liability have important nuances. Dog owners may be held liable if:
- They knew or should have known their dog had dangerous propensities.
- They violated local leash laws or other animal control ordinances.
- The dog was considered a “dangerous dog” under state law.
- The attack occurred while the dog was running at large during nighttime hours.
Each dog bite injury case requires a thorough investigation to establish liability. Our experienced lawyers carefully examine the circumstances of the attack, the dog’s history and applicable local ordinances to build the strongest possible case for compensation.
