Yes. Michigan law is clear and strong when it comes to dog bites.
Under Michigan Compiled Laws § 287.351, a dog owner is strictly liable if:
- Their dog bites someone without provocation
- The bite happened while the victim was lawfully on public or private property
That means you don’t have to prove the dog had a history of violence. Just that it bit you—and you weren’t trespassing or teasing it.
Dog bites can cause serious injuries, from infection to nerve damage and disfigurement. You may be entitled to damages for medical costs, scars, emotional trauma, and time off work.
