Montana State Dog Bite Laws:
In Montana, a dog owner may be liable for damages caused by his/her dog when the dog bites or injures a person, but only if the injured person is lawfully present on private property or the injury occurred on public property. This liability applies regardless of the dog owner's knowledge of the dog's former viciousness or vicious propensities. A person is considered to be lawfully on the owner's property if he or she was invited to be there, such as a friend or a repair person. A trespasser is not considered a lawful guest of the owner. A dog owner is probably not liable, however, for injuries sustained by a person if that person provoked the dog, causing the dog to attack. Each county in Montana has the authority to enact laws regarding the regulation of vicious dogs.
