What if a dog bite happens on public property?

If a dog bite occurs on public property in Oklahoma, the injured party may be eligible for compensation. To prove negligence in this situation, the injured party will need to demonstrate that the dog’s owner or person in control of it failed to use reasonable care to prevent the bite. This includes showing that the dog’s owner was aware of the animal’s dangerous tendencies and that they failed to take action to prevent the incident. The injured party may be able to receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. In order to receive compensation, it is important to prove that the dog’s owner or person in control of it was negligent. In some cases, the dog’s owner or person in control of it may be liable for the injuries regardless of when the incident occurred. For example, if a person was in control of a dog and was aware of its dangerous tendencies, but did not take steps to control the animal, then they may be held liable for any injuries that occur. In other cases, the injured party may be able to recover damages if the owner or other person was aware of a dangerous situation that caused the bite. For example, if a person was walking their dog in an area with a history of dog bites and negligently fails to control the animal, then they may be held responsible for any injuries that occur. Ultimately, the amount of compensation the injured party can recover after a dog bite incident on public property will depend on the specific circumstances surrounding the incident and the extent of their injuries. It is important to work with an experienced attorney to ensure that all aspects of the situation are taken into account when seeking damages.
