What If I Am Injured In A Collision With An Animal?

The answer is that it depends on the animal.  Damage caused by a domestic pet is frequently covered by insurance.  But injury caused by a wild animal would usually not be covered for liability purposes.  Essentially, if a human is responsible for the animal, the human may be liable for damage caused.

For example, a dog bite can incur liability for the owner and having an unleashed dog can cause owners to be responsible for problems they cause while being loose – frequently involving collisions with motorcycles and other motor vehicles.  The facts of each situation are different and should be reviewed by an attorney to determine whether you have a case.

We represent people throughout the State of Vermont – in Springfield, Brattleboro, Woodstock, St. Albans, Rutland, Montpelier, Newfane, Manchester, Wilmington, the Northeast Kingdom, Burlington, Bennington and anywhere else where there is jurisdiction in the State of Vermont.
