When is an owner liable for a dog bite injury?

Dog owners are typically found liable for an injury their dog caused if any of the following are true: a dog-bite statute makes the owner liable, the injury was caused by the unreasonable carelessness of the dog's owner, or if the owner was aware that the dog had a tendency to cause injury. For example, if an owner allowed their knowingly aggressive dog to be off of a leash in a public place and it bit someone else, the owner would typically be found liable.
