If a burglar gets severely injured by a domesticated animal?

The owner of the dog is not, and should not be, liable for any of the burglars injuries.

If the burglar bleeds on the carpet after getting bitten, the homeowner can successfully sue him for the cleaning costs.

Contrary to urban myth, burglars can *not* successfully sue homeowners for getting bitten by a dog.

Also, "Beware of the Dog" signs are required only in places where members of the public could reasonably be expected to legally encounter the dog. Even if the dog was known to be savage, there is still no requirement to warn a potential burglar.

The dog owner would not be held liable for the injuries of the burglar because unlike people, dogs are not able to reason. They can not consider the circumstances or the level of danger, they can only react according to their nature and training (if they have any). Therefore, they are not held to the same standard as human beings. No, the burglar's injuries would be his own responsibility.

First thing I would do, is to make sure the dog hasn't caught rabies from the guy!!! The man was trespassing! Too bad if he got hurt! Just make sure the burglar is INSIDE the house all the way, THEN call the police!!! The guy can try to sue the owner, but if I was a judge, I would throw the case out and throw the guy into jail!

I am not sure how the law interprets this but the dog is your weapon against intruders, so if a gun is permissible to be used against intruders, you should have the right to use your dog against someone who breaks into your house.

The law being as crazy as it is, the burglar can probably sue you for damages. But if so, you should also sue the burglar for the same amount in case he wins, you have a countersuit to get your money back.

It's actual not a hypothetical question but an actual issue already addressed by the law. The man breaking in was in the process of committing a crime and therefor he cannot sue you for any injuries he sustained. He was not just walking by, and wandered onto your yard innocently and got bit. He was burglarizing your house and therefor would not receive compensation but would go to jail.

The dog deserves a steak. Burglar was there without being invited.

The burglar should be put under quarantine until it is determined he did not have rabies, since the dog's subsequent health could be in question or jeopardy..

it may ensue besides the fact that it is totally uncommon. In southern England to boot as on the London Underground there are a number of lines that use the third rail gadget and warning notices - 'threat! do not touch The stay Rail!'. maximum casualties on those lines besides the fact that are with the aid of human beings being struck via trains extremely than electrocuted. while working steam trains the team must be especially careful that no techniques or different steel products on the engine touch the stay rail. for that reason the engine ought to pass stay. back it relatively is extremely uncommon. I did study a e book written via a motive force wherein he defined how a pipe putting from the engine made temporary touch with the stay rail. there replaced right into a bang and an orange flash, yet not something occurred. not so fortunate regrettably are the numerous animals which bypass third rail lines and are electrocuted while they step on the stay rail with yet another paw on earth or the adjoining working rail. Animals are smart sufficient to understand while there is not a custom coming yet regrettably do not understand on the subject of the intense voltage in the stay rail till it is too late. This used to ensue to badgers in many circumstances till the railway administration realised that they constantly crossed in an identical place, with the aid of fact their path replaced into there before the line replaced into electrified (or in all likelihood before it replaced into geared up). They placed gaps in the stay rail on the crossing factors, subsequently saving many badgers' lives.

Dog is doing his job of protecting you. First best choice is to have a gun at hand in this made drug crazy world.

its the burglars fault for breaking and entering... had he not attempted to do a crime he would not be injured... its all cause and effect

I'd side with the dog.
