Dog Bites
In South Carolina, a person in control of a dog is liable for any injuries caused by the dog’s biting or attacking a person, unless that person provoked the dog. Further, if the person in control of the dog knew or should have known of the potential for the dog to bite or attack someone, and took no reasonable precautions, then the injured person might be able to recover punitive damages. The type of dog and its history of biting and attacking may be relevant to what the person in control knew or should have known.
