South Carolina Dog Bite Laws

South Carolina is notably generous to victims when it comes to instances of a dog attack. Many states institute what is known as a "one bite rule," which states that if an animal has never acted aggressive in the past, an owner or handler may not be liable for damages (because they were reasonably unaware of the danger the dog posed). In South Carolina, this is not the case: Defendants can be held responsible for injuries following a bite or an attack—regardless of the dog's history.

Important factors in a dog bite claim:

• Any individual in possession of the dog during the attack can be liable.
• Claims are valid even if the attack took place on the owner's property.
• If the dog was provoked in any way, the claim may be invalid.
