Golden Valley, MN personal injury attorney Michael Bryant talks about the law in Minnesota regarding dog bites. He notes that dog bite cases in Minnesota are particularly interesting because they are based on strict liability.

These cases often involve scars or injuries that can affect a person for the rest of their life. He emphasizes the importance of thoroughly evaluating the impact on the victim’s life and gathering all the facts early, so as not to inadvertently create a defense that an inexperienced lawyer might miss.
