Under Michigan’s strict liability law (MCL 287.351), a dog owner is liable if their dog bites someone without provocation, and the victim was lawfully on the property—even at an off-leash park.
- You don’t have to prove negligence.
- You don’t need a history of the dog being dangerous.
However, it gets complex if:
- There’s no clear owner
- It happened on city property
- You were breaking park rules
Dog bites can cause lasting damage—physically and emotionally. You may be entitled to damages for:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- PTSD or trauma
