## Resource

In this episode of Crash Course: Injury Law, host Sean O’Connor and personal injury attorney Joe Ghabour delve into the complexities of dog bite liability in New Jersey. They discuss the state’s strict liability laws, which hold dog owners accountable for bites regardless of prior knowledge of the dog’s aggression. Joe explains how comparative negligence can affect a case if the victim provoked the dog. The conversation also covers the nuances of insurance coverage, the impact of trespassing, and the challenges faced when the dog owner lacks assets or insurance. Joe emphasizes the importance of understanding the long-term medical and emotional impacts of dog bites, especially in cases involving children. Listeners will gain valuable insights into navigating the legal landscape of dog bite incidents and the importance of thorough documentation and expert guidance.
