one day, when zhang mouhe, a villager from taizhou, zhejiang, was driving an electric bike, he was chased by a large black dog that suddenly appeared on the roadside. he was frightened and fell to the ground, with his left leg seriously injured, resulting in a level 10 disability.
zhang mouhe filed a lawsuit in court, demanding that the dog owner compensate for various losses of more than 200,000 yuan.
the dog owner stated that the plaintiff zhang mouhe admitted that he was not bitten by the dog he raised, and he was not even touched by it. zhang mouhe's injuries were entirely caused by his own careless driving of the electric vehicle and had nothing to do with the dog he raised.
if a person is chased by a vicious dog and gets frightened and falls, does the dog owner have to pay compensation? does he not have to be responsible if he is not bitten or touched?
who will be held responsible for the “non-contact” damage caused by pets? how will the court rule? the information bureau of the supreme people’s court, together with the political and cultural department of people’s daily and people’s daily online, launched a special “explanation” program. in this issue, we focus on such a case.
