In New York State, an owner will be responsible for an injury caused by the bite of their animal. This is going to be subject to New York states, as they call it, one bite rule. And typically whether or not that dog has previously bitten any other person or previously shown any violent propensity. In the event where we can show that a dog has previously bitten someone or previously shown a violent propensity, then the owner of that dog will absolutely bear the liability for the actions of the animal.
