Massachusetts Dog Bite Law
Massachusetts’s law states the owner or keeper (usually the person in control of a dog) who causes injury or death to another person is liable to the injured victim for the damages suffered by the victim. The injured person does not have to prove fault on the part of the dog’s owner or keeper, a victim of an injury caused by a dog need only show that they did not tease, torment or abuse the dog prior to the attack.
