What is the Statute of Limitations for Massachusetts Dog Bites and Attacks?

Generally, you have three years from the date of the accident to bring a lawsuit in Massachusetts for injuries sustained in a Massachusetts dog bite accident or attack. Also, if you live in Massachusetts and your slip and fall accident was in a different state, then that state’s laws apply. Not all states have a three year statute of limitations like Massachusetts does.

There are exceptions however to this rule, and if you think that you have a dog bite case, I encourage you to call me now at 617-397-4242 or email me at cearley@earleylawgroup.com for a completely free consultation. My office does not collect a legal fee unless we win your case for you.

Nearly twenty years ago when I opened my practice I decided to dedicate my career to advancing the rights of injury victims against powerful insurance companies. Personally, I find great satisfaction in helping good and honest people who have been wronged due to no fault of their own. I am really proud to have earned our clients’ hard-earned trust by running a law firm our clients can always count on to do the right thing.
