Dog Bite Injury Lawyer in Pennsville, NJ
If you were injured in a dog attack in Pennsville or anywhere in Salem County, DiBartolo Law is here to help. Our experienced dog bite injury attorneys understand the serious consequences of animal attacks and are committed to holding negligent pet owners accountable while helping you pursue full compensation.
Why Hire Injury Lawyers?
Under New Jersey’s strict liability statute (N.J.S.A. 4:19-16), dog owners are responsible when their dogs bite someone in public or when the victim is lawfully on private property. You don’t have to prove the dog had a history of aggression. But dealing with insurers can still be challenging—our injury lawyers can manage the legal process so you can focus on recovery.
We are familiar with Salem County animal control and the Pennsville Health Department’s specific requirements and can obtain the necessary documentation to support your claim.
Pennsville Dog Laws and Animal Control
Salem County Animal Control enforces pet licensing, rabies vaccinations, and leash ordinances in Pennsville. When a dog bite occurs, the incident must be reported to animal control, which usually initiates a quarantine and may designate the dog as dangerous. Our team can work to obtain these official records and leverage them to build a strong compensation case.
