Short answer
The Code imposes liability on an animal’s keeper for harm caused, subject to the relevant conditions. Escape or lack of supervision does not automatically exclude liability; protective measures also matter.
Practical example
A dog escapes from a yard and injures a passer-by. Identify the keeper, circumstances and treatment costs.
What to do
Obtain medical care first. Keep medical records, receipts, photographs and witness details, and identify the keeper.
Points to consider
Compensation depends on evidence. Whether necessary protective measures were taken requires the statutory assessment.
