Dog Bite FAQ

What if the dog has no history of aggression?

No. Nevada follows a negligence-based approach, meaning dog owners may be liable if they failed to use reasonable care to prevent the attack.

Yes. A prior bite history is not required if the owner acted negligently or violated leash or animal control laws.

​

What if the dog bite happened on private property?

You may still have a valid claim, especially if you were lawfully on the property and the owner failed to control the dog.

​
