Animal Attacks
Atlanta Lawyers Representing Injured Victims
For many people in Georgia, pets are a source of support. However, some animals are not properly controlled or trained. Some are dangerous or vicious. Animal attacks can cause catastrophic or fatal injuries. Both adults and children may face dangers from an animal, even if it has never previously attacked someone. Generally, Georgia law favors dog and other pet owners, which is why it is critical to retain an attorney experienced in handling these types of cases. The Atlanta animal attack lawyers at Van Sant Law work hard to help victims throughout Georgia pursue favorable settlements or awards.

Animal Attacks in Georgia
Under O.C.G.A. Section 51-2-7, someone who owns or keeps a dangerous or vicious animal and who, by careless management or by permitting the animal to go at liberty, inflicts an injury on someone else can be held accountable for damages. To prove a vicious propensity, it is enough to show that the attacking animal was required by an ordinance to be restrained, but the animal was not restrained at the time of the attack. You will also need to show that the owner of the pet had superior knowledge of the pet’s aggressive tendencies. However, a plaintiff in an animal attack case cannot recover damages if they were trespassing or if they provoked the injury through their own acts toward the animal.
Under Georgia law, moreover, any pet owner who owns an animal that is known to be aggressive may be held liable when that animal attacks and injures someone.
Wild or Non-Domesticated Pets
If you were injured by someone else’s wild or non-domesticated pet, you may be able to hold the owner strictly liable with the assistance of an animal attack attorney in Atlanta. You will not need to prove that the owner failed to live up to a certain duty in his or her actions or omissions.
Attacks by Dogs
Dogs are the animals most commonly responsible for attacks. Under Section 4-8-21, dogs may be classified as dangerous or vicious. Certain requirements are imposed on owners of dangerous or vicious dogs. For example, the owner of a dangerous dog needs to keep a locked and secure enclosure to restrain the dog on the owner’s property. There must be a clearly visible sign posted to warn of a dangerous dog at all entrances.
A dangerous dog is a dog that substantially punctures skin by teeth without causing serious injuries or aggressively attacks in a way that presents an imminent threat of serious injuries. A dog that kills a pet animal while off its owner’s property can also be classified as dangerous. Vicious dogs are those that inflict a serious injury on someone or inflict a serious injury when someone is trying to avoid the attack. Exemptions apply to police and military dogs, or situations in which the victim was trespassing or abusing the dog.
