Q:
If a stray dog bites me, can I file a legal claim?

A:
Unlikely. The only circumstance where you may have a legitimate claim of negligence is if a stray dog held in a pound or shelter bites you. In that case, you may have a claim against the facility responsible for the animal. Otherwise, municipalities are generally not responsible for stray dogs found roaming in their towns and cities.
