This is a New York City dog-bite information page built around the rule that changes these cases: medical costs and the rest of the claim do not always require the same proof. It explains how a bite report, treatment record, witness account, earlier warning and building document fit together. The focus is the work that follows an attack in a city of apartments, elevators, shared sidewalks and buildings where the owner of the dog may not be the only person with relevant notice or control.
Start with the records that cannot be recreated later: treatment papers, photographs, the dog owner’s details, witness names, the exact location and the NYC bite report. A New York dog-bite claim is stronger when medical care, notice evidence and building records are preserved together.
