Animal Liability

Animal Liability is a legal doctrine within the broader category of strict liability that holds owners or possessors of animals accountable for harm caused by those animals, distinguishing itself by imposing liability without regard to fault or the animal’s prior known behavior, particularly when the animal is wild or possesses known dangerous propensities.
