One Louisiana law defines what is considered a <b>dangerous dog<\/b>, and the other describes <b>who is responsible<\/b> in the event of an animal bite.\u00a0<\/p><h3>Louisiana Dangerous Dog Law<\/h3><p>Louisiana <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legis.la.gov\/legis\/law.aspx?d=78241\">RS 14:102.14<\/a> considers the following as a dangerous dog:<\/p><ul><li>One that has bitten and injured someone without provoking.<\/li><li>Hurt or killed a domestic animal twice in three years while not present at the dog owner\u2019s property or home.\u00a0<\/li><li>Required a person to defend themselves against bodily harm on at least two occasions within three years while not on the dog owner\u2019s property.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><p>Under this law, the only dogs exempt from the above are those trained to aid in search and rescue missions and employed by local or state law enforcement.\u00a0<\/p><h3>Louisiana Dog Bite Liability Law<\/h3><p>The other <b>Louisiana dog bite law<\/b> can be found under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legis.la.gov\/legis\/Law.aspx?d=109384\">Louisiana Civil Code 2321<\/a>. This law outlines who is responsible for a dog bite attack. According to this law, the animal&#8217;s owner is liable for damages caused by the animal. However, he or she is only responsible for damages if they knew or should have known that their animal would cause damage and that damage could have been avoided by exercising reasonable care, which the owner failed to exercise.\u00a0<\/p><p>The dog owner is strictly liable for damages relating to injuries to a person or property caused by the dog that the owner could have prevented and was not the result of being provoked by the injured person.
