Located at 313 West Liberty Place, Lancaster PA 17603, Ciccarelli Law Offices addresses the sobering reality that 4.5 million people suffer serious dog bite injuries annually, with 20% becoming infected. The firm’s Lancaster dog bite injury lawyers recognize how devastating these attacks can be, especially for children between five and nine who represent the majority of victims. In Pennsylvania, dog owners must keep their pets in a house, yard, on a leash, or under reasonable control. The Pennsylvania Superior Court has established that owners violating this confinement law are liable for injuries regardless of whether they had reason to believe their dog would act aggressively. Unlike states with “one bite” rules, Pennsylvania implements strict liability even for dogs without prior aggressive incidents. Lancaster County currently lists 15 dogs on the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture’s Dangerous Dogs List, requiring owners to register pets that have inflicted harm and maintain liability insurance of at least $50,000. Ciccarelli Law Offices fights aggressively for victims’ rights to secure compensation for hospitalizations, surgeries, rehabilitation, prosthetic devices, pain and suffering, and lost wages.
