When is a dog owner not liable for a dog bite?
If the person bitten by the dog provoked the dog in any fashion such as hitting the dog, the owner will likely not be liable. If the person bitten was warned and still decided to risk a situation that might involve the dog biting, again, the owner will likely not be liable. Finally, if the person trespassed on a property the dog was defending then the owner will likely not be liable for injuries caused by the dog.
