Additional North Carolina Dog Bite Laws That Affect Your Case
When we investigate your dog bite incident, we identify the dog, its owner, and the insurance company (homeowners’ or pet liability) we can pursue for damages. In addition, we’ll document the dog’s history to prove whether it qualifies as dangerous or potentially dangerous under North Carolina law.
N.C. Gen. Stat. § 67-4.1 deems a dog dangerous if the animal:
- Previously caused serious or fatal injuries.
- Has been so designated by animal control.
- Was explicitly bred for fighting.
The statute also considers a dog potentially dangerous if the animal previously:
- Bit someone, breaking their skin or bone or causing disfigurement.
- Behaved viciously or in a threatening manner.
