Wisconsin Dog Bite Law Explained
Wisconsin law holds dog owners strictly responsible when their animal causes injury. Unlike other states, Wisconsin does not require victims to prove the dog had a history of aggression. The first bite is enough to establish liability.
Double Damages for Repeat Offenders
If the dog has previously bitten someone or shown signs of aggression and bites again, Wisconsin law allows victims to seek double damages. This includes medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Common Injuries from Dog Bites
Dog attacks often result in severe physical and emotional harm. Common injuries include:
Children are particularly vulnerable, often suffering bites to the face, neck, and arms. Emotional recovery for young victims can take years.
