Recently, a child was bitten by a rottweiler that the family had obtained from a dog training facility three days before the incident. The facility had been boarding and training the dog for 10 months. The child’s parents filed a lawsuit against the facility alleging the facility intentionally failed to disclose the dog’s history and dangerous propensity.
In an unexpected twist, the training facility then countersued the parents, claiming that as the legal owners of the dog at the time of the dog bite incident, they were responsible for the dog’s behavior.
The Appellate Court of New Jersey held that as owners of the dog, the parents could be held liable for their child’s injury under New Jersey’s Dog Bite statute (Barkosky v. Weber’s Training School, NJ Appellate Div A-3142-21, decided June 23, 2023).
