Dog Bite Law

Can you be held responsible if a dog that you trained six months ago bites a person today? If a dog that belongs to a client bites a dog belonging to a second client? Or if you adopt-out a dog and it bites its new owner?

Attorney Kenneth Phillips - the leading authority in dog bite law - says that you can, and that these are only three out of dozens of scenarios where canine professionals are vulnerable to legal liability. However, he also knows how you can avoid liability, too.

And here is another nighmare scenario. Suppose you get bitten by a dog you are training? Did you know that the law says you are not allowed to make a claim for medical bills against the insurance of your client? Phillips has come up with a way to get paid for not only your bills but also for your loss of income and other losses.

Phillips has created a DVD / CD-ROM package called Avoiding Liability When You Train, Shelter or Adopt-Out, and its price tag is minimal, especially when you consider what it will get you: peace of mind.

The DVD is a 90-minute seminar that teaches trainers, rescue groups, adoption organizations, kennels and shelters how to avoid liability for accidents. Phillips takes an approach that combines two things: safe practices and properly drafted contacts, waivers and company policies.

Additionally, he tells you how to make the law work for you in a variety of areas that traditionally are against canine professionals. The most important has to do with getting those medical bills paid if you are attacked by a dog that you are training.

Dont worry: you do NOT have to sit down and watch this video with your lawyer, because it comes with a CD-ROM that contains all the legal documents that Phillips talks about! They all were drafted by him, specially for this package. You can print them out as written, customize them in your word processor, or combine them with the documents you already are using.

For the price of this DVD / CD-ROM set, you would get about 15 minutes with a good attorney. Spend that money here, and you will have 90 minutes with a GREAT attorney, plus a Training Agreement, Adoption Agreement, Waiver for Entry on Premises, Bailment Agreement for Surrender of Dog, and Policy and Procedures for Observing and Reporting Problems with Dogs.

It is a small investment for a whole lot of peace of mind!
