Minnesota Dog Bite Law: Punitive Damages
Our law firm has obtained punitive damages in a Minnesota dog bite case. Punitive damages are meant to punish behavior as a deterrent to future, similar behavior.
Pit Bull Bite and Pit Bull Attack
Pit bull bites and pit bull attacks can cause serious injury or death. There is usually a claim for disfigurement due to a face bite, arm bite, leg bite, etc. Pit bulls can also bite the head or neck and cause death. There have also been cases of amputation.
Rottweiler Attack and Killed by Rottweiler
Rottweilers are ranked second behind Pit Bulls for number of fatal human attacks. With a Rottweiler dog bite injury, there is almost always a claim for disfigurement because a dog bite makes jagged tears in the skin and very frequently there is loss of soft tissue. If the victim survives a bite to the face, neck, arms or legs, they are scarred physically and emotionally for life.
