Who is responsible for the traffic accident caused by the dog crossing the road?

When a pet dog crosses the road and causes a traffic accident, the owner or manager of the pet dog should usually bear the responsibility.

The following are some details about the responsibility of such accidents:

1.** Responsibility for failing to take safety measures * *: If the owner or manager of a pet dog fails to take appropriate safety measures in public places, such as not tying the dog leash, which causes the pet dog to suddenly run on the public road, causing a traffic accident, and the accident vehicle runs normally and there is no violation, the owner or manager of the animal should generally take full responsibility.

2.** The situation that the infringed intentionally caused damage * *: It can be proved that the damage caused by the traffic accident was caused by the intentional behavior of the infringed, which can reduce the responsibility of the animal breeder or manager.

3.** Determination of causality * *: When judging the responsibility, it is necessary to determine that there is a direct causal relationship between the dog crossing the road and the traffic accident. If the behavior of a pet dog directly leads to a traffic accident, its breeder should bear the responsibility.

4.** Legal case support * *: In actual case handling, the court usually judges the responsibility according to the specific situation and relevant legal provisions. For example, in a case, the People's Court of Qichun County, Hubei Province ruled that the owner of a pet dog should bear the corresponding responsibility for failing to fulfill the obligation of management restraint, causing his pet dog to cross the road and cause a traffic accident.

To sum up, the owners or managers of pet dogs are generally responsible for traffic accidents caused by their crossing the road, especially if proper safety measures are not taken. However, each specific case has its own uniqueness, and the final responsibility determination needs to be determined according to the specific circumstances and legal provisions at the time of the accident.
