Knockdowns and Trip Injuries
A large dog that jumps or pulls can knock a person down, causing fractures and head injuries. These claims can be more complex than bite cases under New York law.
Owner Knowledge
As with bites, the owner's awareness of the animal's behavior can be central to liability for non-bite injuries.
What to Do
Seek care, identify the dog and owner, and document the incident. An attorney can assess whether you have a viable claim.
