Indiana State Dog Bite Laws:
In Indiana, every dog is presumed to be harmless under state common law. A dog bite victim may overcome this presumption by presenting evidence of a dog's known or dangerous propensity as demonstrated by specific acts of the dog. A dog with a dangerous propensity displays a likelihood that the dog will act in a manner that may endanger a person's safety in a given situation.
In situations where the owner knew of a dog's dangerous propensities, liability is still based on negligence. As such, the victim must demonstrate that the owner failed to take reasonable steps under the circumstances to prevent the injury.
In Indiana, a dog owner may be liable for damages suffered by the person bitten, regardless of any knowledge of the dog's viciousness, if the victim was acting within his or her duties imposed by state law, federal law, or postal regulations of the United States of America.
