Georgia Dog Bite Laws: What Victims in Blue Ridge Should Know
Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 51-2-7) holds a dog owner liable if they knew or should have known that their dog had a dangerous or vicious nature. However, even if the dog did not have a known history of aggression, owners can be held liable for violating leash laws or other local ordinances that led to the attack.
In Blue Ridge and greater Fannin County, local leash laws may impact liability in a dog bite case. If a dog was off-leash in a public area and attacked someone, the owner may be presumed negligent. This is why hiring a local attorney familiar with both state and municipal codes is crucial.
Common Injuries from Dog Attacks
Dog bite injuries can range from mild to severe and often require extensive medical treatment. At Pritchard Injury Firm, we have represented clients throughout North Georgia with injuries such as:
- Deep lacerations and puncture wounds
- Facial disfigurement or permanent scarring
- Nerve damage or infection
- Emotional trauma and PTSD, especially in children
- Rabies exposure or need for tetanus shots
In addition to physical injuries, the emotional and psychological toll of a dog attack can linger for years—impacting a victim’s confidence, mental health, and sense of safety.
