Bitten by a Dog in Toronto? Here’s Why You Need Joshua Goldberg LLP on Your Side
Dog bites can be traumatic, painful, and legally complex. Whether it’s a minor nip or a severe attack, victims often face medical bills, emotional distress, and even long-term scarring. In Ontario, the Dog Owners’ Liability Act (DOLA) holds owners strictly liable for injuries caused by their pets. However, navigating the legal process and securing fair compensation requires expertise. That’s where Joshua Goldberg LLP, a top Toronto-based law firm, comes in.
Understanding Dog Bite Laws in Ontario
Ontario follows a strict liability approach under DOLA, meaning that dog owners are responsible for their pets' actions, regardless of whether the dog has bitten before. Unlike some legal cases that require proving negligence, dog bite victims in Ontario only need to demonstrate:
That the dog attacked or bit them
The extent of their injuries
That the dog was owned or controlled by the responsible party
While this may seem straightforward, insurance companies and dog owners often try to minimize payouts or argue that the victim provoked the attack. This is why working with a legal expert like Joshua Goldberg LLP is crucial.
