Delaware's Dog-Owner Liability Law
Delaware generally holds dog owners strictly liable when their dog injures someone, unless the victim was trespassing or provoking the animal. That means you usually don't have to prove the dog was previously dangerous.
Injuries and Damages
Beyond the bite itself, victims may face reconstructive surgery, scarring, nerve damage, and psychological trauma. We pursue compensation for medical care, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
Where Recovery Comes From
Homeowner's or renter's insurance often covers dog-bite claims, which means pursuing the claim usually does not mean taking money directly from a friend or family member.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to prove the dog bit someone before?
Usually no. Delaware imposes strict liability on owners in most situations, so you don't need to show the dog had a history of aggression.
My child was bitten by a friend's dog. Should I pursue a claim?
The claim is typically paid by homeowner's insurance, not personally by your friend. Protecting your child's recovery is what matters, and we handle this sensitively.
