Dog Bite Laws in Georgia: What Atlanta Residents Need to Know

Dog bites can cause more than physical pain. They leave emotional scars and costly medical bills.

If you’ve been bitten in Atlanta, you have rights under Georgia law, but proving liability requires skill and precision.

1. Georgia’s “One-Bite” Rule Explained

Georgia follows a “modified one-bite rule,” meaning dog owners may be liable if they knew or should have known their dog was dangerous.

If the attack occurred in Fulton County or within Atlanta city limits, leash laws can also establish negligence.

2. Evidence That Strengthens Your Claim

  • Medical records and photos of injuries
  • Witness statements
  • Proof of prior aggression or leash violations
  • Animal control reports

KP Law Group investigates these details thoroughly, because one overlooked fact can mean thousands in lost recovery.

3. Compensation You Can Recover

  • Medical bills
  • Plastic surgery or scar revision
  • Therapy for trauma
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering

If you or your child were bitten by a dog in Atlanta, don’t settle quietly.
Let the Fierce & Fearless team at KP Law Group fight for your full justice.
