No more free bites for dogs or children in liability rules
Linn County Bar Association president Jim Pickens explains updated local law on dog bites and liability. He notes dogs have absolute liability regardless of prior behavior, with burglar bites exempt, while cats fall outside coverage. Parents may face up to 1000 per act, and insurance typically offers 300000 in liability for around 23 dollars yearly, though many fail to insure attractive nuisances like trampolines and pools.
