Dog bites and animal attacks generally fall under the rule of premises liability, which holds property owners and occupiers responsible for ensuring the reasonable safety of any lawful visitors. If a pet owner has any knowledge of a pet's tendency toward aggression, and he or she does not take steps to keep the animal properly secured or restrained, that pet owner can be held liable for any injuries the animal may cause.
