What is the Washington Law For Dog Attacks?

Suffering a dog attack often represents one of the most unforgettable and traumatic experiences of one’s life. Redmond Municipal Code Section KCC 11.04.290(B)(2) provides that any animal that bites, attacks, or attempts to bite one or more persons within two years is a public nuisance. Upon this occurrence, the dog owner must not keep the animal within Redmond city limits 48 hours after receiving notice. If the dog owner fails to remove the animal, the city impounds the animal and euthanizes it.

Washington state law permits dog attack victims to recover compensatory damages for their dog bite injuries. In fact, the state statute provides that the owner of any dog that bites a person is strictly liable for the resulting injuries. However, important facts must exist, including that the victim must have been on public property or permitted to be on private property. The victim must also not have provoked the dog attack.

Even if a dog is not one of any dangerous breed, Washington law permits recovery of damage. Additionally, no previous violent history related to the dog needs to exist before a victim can recover compensatory damages.

There are certain exceptions to the strict liability statute. These exceptions limit responsible in the following circumstances:

The victim trespassed at the time of the dog attack,
The bite occurred during the lawful use of a police dog.

As a dog bite victim, the law is absolutely on your side. Redmond dog bite attorneys understand what is needed to strengthen your claim so you can recover just compensation for your harm.

Suing vs. Settling

Many personal injury victims spend unnecessary time and energy wondering whether they should sue or settle. For most people, settling is the best option – but that doesn’t mean you won’t have to file a lawsuit anyway. Filing a lawsuit is often the only tactic that can motivate a stubborn opposing party to make a decent settlement offer. Simply filing a lawsuit doesn’t necessarily mean that a trial will ever happen.

When you make your initial demand to the opposing party (and the “opposing party” is typically an insurance company), you might lack sufficient evidence to be certain that you could win if your personal injury claim went to court. The opposing party, realizing your weakness, might balk at issuing a fair settlement offer. When this happens, the opposing party is in effect daring you to sue him.

Using the Discovery Process to Your Advantage

The discovery process is the way that opposing parties gather evidence from each other in preparation for a trial. As such, discovery can take place only after a formal lawsuit has been filed. Indeed, access to discovery is one of the primary motivations for filing a lawsuit, even by a party who fully intends to settle the case before trial, if possible. Discovery is particularly useful when one party lacks evidence that is in the possession of the other party.

The three most useful tools that you can use in the discovery process are:

Depositions: Questioning the other party out of court but under oath, with a court reporter recording everything.
Written interrogatories: Written questions that the opposing party must answer truthfully and fully to the best of their knowledge.
Request for the production of documents: Requests to the opposing party to produce, say, business records. This might be relevant, for example, if you are suing the manufacturer of defective tires or brake drums.

The discovery process is not fully voluntary. If the opposing party refuses your request, you can seek a court order – and they can do the same to you.

I hired Adam Engst six years ago after I was in a car accident. I injured my neck and back and have struggled with for many issues since my accident. Adam fought hard for my settlement for six years and got me more money than I could’ve imagined. He also continued to fight for me after my settlement closed for overpayment to care providers. He and his paralegal Nichole are absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend him enough!!

I had the opportunity to work with Matt Conner after I was the victim of a DUI collision in downtown Bellingham. My car was totaled, and I sustained injuries as a result of the accident. I almost didn’t make the call to Matt, but I am truly grateful that I did.

From the beginning, Matt was compassionate, responsive, and incredibly helpful. He guided me through every step of the process with clear communication and sound advice. Anytime I had questions, he was quick to respond and always took the time to ensure I understood my options.

Matt’s professionalism, combined with his genuine care for ME, made a difficult situation much more manageable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation.
