Georgia Dog Bite Laws Explained

Georgia’s dog bite laws are complex, blending a modified “one-bite rule” with local ordinances. Our attorneys, with their deep legal expertise, break it down:

One-Bite Rule: Owners may avoid liability unless they knew their dog was dangerous—e.g., a prior bite or aggressive behavior. Christopher Simon’s trial savvy ensures we uncover this evidence.
Leash Law Violations: Atlanta’s strict leash ordinances can shift liability if violated. Harrison Spires’ litigation experience strengthens these claims.
Negligence Matters: Tyler Bridgers’ attention to detail proves owner negligence, whether through poor training or failure to secure the dog.

In 2023 alone, Georgia reported over 1,000 dog bite incidents requiring medical attention, many in metro Atlanta. Our authoritative understanding of these laws, backed by years of courtroom success, positions us to win your case. Call us 24/7 at (404) 259-7635 to get started.
