Dog Owners’ Liability
Dog Bite Lawyers in Mississauga & Ontario
Ontario’s Dog Owners’ Liability Act makes the owner of a dog strictly liable for damages caused by a bite or attack — even if the dog had never bitten anyone before.
These cases often involve significant scarring, surgical repair, and lasting psychological injury. We help clients pursue full compensation under the Act.
