Washington State upholds a strict liability statute for dog bites. This means that a dog’s owner is financially liable for any injuries their pet causes to a person who is either in a public place or lawfully present in a private setting, including the dog owner’s property. In simple terms, if you were bitten by a dog, you likely have grounds to pursue a lawsuit.
Washington Revised Code Title 16. Civil Procedure § 16.08.050
(1) The owner of any dog which shall bite any person while such person is in or on a public place or lawfully in or on a private place including the property of the owner of such dog, shall be liable for such damages as may be suffered by the person bitten, regardless of the former viciousness of such dog or the owner’s knowledge of such viciousness.
(2) This section does not apply to the lawful application of a police dog, as defined in RCW 4.24.410.
