Responsabilidad Civil Extracontractual de Propietarios de Caninos Potencialmente Peligrosos

Abstract

In the present work, the possible responsibilities on the part of an owner of a highly dangerous canine and the damages that this channel to a third party are studied. In civil liability, the main question should be considered: ¿If in the face of damage or injury caused by a highly dangerous canine, the victim must assume the damage or the owner must repair it? When a person lives in society, he has rights and obligations; As a consequence of the above, it is responsible when damage is caused to a good or a person; and as a consequence of this, social harmony is broken and an individual is harmed. Tort civil liability is the means that has been resorted to in Colombia to achieve compensation for damages caused by dangerous animals, mainly a pecuniary restoration, depending on the protected right. This responsibility is one in which it generates the obligation to repair damage, without having a contractual link that requires it, that is, what this responsibility intends is the payment of compensation by the owners of the animal.
