Owner’s Duty Under the Dog Bite Laws in Iowa

Understanding dog bite laws in Iowa is important to your case if you plan on pursuing a claim. When you have been injured in an animal attack, such as being bitten by a dog, it is only to your benefit to have a good basic understanding of your rights as a victim.

A Des Moines dog bite lawyer can explain those rights to you and what the most up-to-date laws are pertaining to dog bites in Iowa and your county or city specifically. If you want to know whether or not you have a valid claim, you should speak first with a lawyer.

According to Iowa dog bite law, dog owners have a duty that if their dog bites or attacks a person and they are aware of it, they are to report the act to law enforcement or a local health official. A failure to report a known dog attack or bite is a violation of dog bite laws in Iowa.

Injuries from a dog bite can be severe, even life-threatening. It may result in the need for plastic surgery, which can still leave a person disfigured. Damages for being bitten by a dog can include not only medical expenses but psychological damage such as pain and suffering and emotional distress.
