Liability for Damage to Pets - Legal Aid


Questioner

If I unintentionally damage the pet of my partner with whom I live but have no other relationship, am I liable for the damage to the animal?

Lawyer

You live together so you are jointly responsible for the costs. However, if she were to sue you, you would be personally liable for the damage you caused. Assume that your relationship is good and that the latter is not the case. Good luck.
