Brampton Dog Bite Lawyer


Many dog owners consider their pets to be integral members of their families. Dogs are known as “man’s best friend,” and typically provide their owners with affection, companionship, and loyalty. Nearly 8 million pet dogs share homes with Canadians, and the majority of owners enjoy the physical and mental health benefits of caring for a canine. 

Unfortunately, even the friendlist, most well-behaved dog can lash out suddenly and bite another human. Dog attacks can cause victims to sustain serious injuries, and even fatalities. Infants, toddlers, and small children are particularly vulnerable to deadly dog attacks. Other victims who are commonly injured in Brampton dog attacks include neighbours, guests at the dog owner’s home, passersby, delivery agents, and mail carriers. In fact, according to Canada Post, 500 postal workers are bitten by dogs each year.

When dogs bite people, their victims could face severe medical outcomes from which they might never fully recover. Life-threatening diseases like rabies can be transferred to humans through an infected dog’s saliva. What’s more, dog bites can leave permanent scars that are both physical and psychological in nature.

Dogs can inflict physical wounds that maim or permanently disfigure their victims, as well as disabling musculoskeletal injuries. Dog attacks can also cause victims to sustain catastrophic injuries, including vision loss and other permanent, disabling medical conditions.

Additionally, the psychological repercussions of a violent dog attack can be overwhelming. Many victims of dog attacks require psychiatric counseling, prescription medication, and other expensive therapeutic treatments in order to cope with their newly developed psychological injuries. Common mental health disorders developed by injured dog attack victims include:

  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Sleep disorders
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Permanent phobias
  • Low self-esteem due to physical scarring/disfigurement
  • And more

According to the Ontario Dog Owners’ Liability Act, dog owners are responsible for taking reasonable precautions to prevent their dog from injuring another person. If a dog owner fails to prevent an injury-causing attack, they might be considered negligent. As such, they might be liable for damages incurred by injured people who were bitten, mauled, or otherwise attacked by their pet.
