What damages are available in pedestrian accidents?

Pennsylvania has a few laws that apply to dog bites, including the dangerous dog law and leash law. According to the dangerous dog law, if a dog owner knows the dog is prone to biting, the owner may be held civilly and criminally responsible when the dog bites another person. A landlord can also be held responsible if the landlord knows that a tenant owns a dangerous dog.
