Utah law currently makes dog owners liable for injuries their animals cause, with a few existing exceptions, such as when a dog is secured on private property and injures a trespasser or another animal that wandered in uninvited. This bill would add a new exception protecting owners of livestock guardian dogs from liability if their dog injures or kills someone while herding or guarding livestock on public or private land covered by a grazing permit or lease, as long as the dog was provoked into acting through someone's negligent, reckless, or intentional conduct. The bill would also set a clear four-year deadline for filing a lawsuit over a dog-attack injury, and it would raise the cap on damages recoverable through arbitration or at trial for such injuries from $50,000 to $75,000, not counting medical benefits, property damage, or certain legal costs, while clarifying that this dollar cap would not apply to wrongful death claims.
