Dog bite laws in Colorado Springs come from Colorado law CRS 13-21-124. Colorado's common laws also apply. The laws say that an owner may have legal responsibility under strict liability or negligence laws if their dog bites another person.

The same negligence laws that apply in other kinds of personal injury cases also apply to dog bites. The victim may bring a claim based on the theory that the dog owner allowed the accident to occur in some way. The standard is negligence or carelessness. Even more serious conduct, like reckless and intentional conduct, can also be the grounds for a negligence dog bite claim.

For a claim based on negligence, there's no requirement that the injuries are severe. Any injury level may qualify for a common-law negligence claim as long as the owner contributes to the accident through careless behavior. Compensatory damages for a dog bite may include economic damages and pain and suffering.
