Pennsylvania has had a very tough and longstanding law that has made it difficult for someone who was attacked by a dog, to get paid for their injuries. Generally, that requirement was that it had to be proven that the dog had known “vicious propensities”. Basically, that meant trying to find evidence that the particularly dog had attacked someone else in the past. Finding that confirmation was difficult at best. Owners would almost always deny that their dog had ever harmed anyone, and it was rare to find an earlier police report when it did happen. Finally, the State of Pennsylvania has come into the 21st century. This near impossible requirement has been removed.
Without a doubt, an attack by a dog can be brutal. Innocent victims can get hurt trying to flee the attack and even worse, when the dog catches someone. Innocent children have also been brutalized by dogs. Injuries can range from a mere bite to the need for stitches, reconstructive surgery or other types of surgery. An innocent victim may have to pay for the surgery and lose money from not being able to work. Like all injuries, it can result in damage to the entire family.
