The "One-Bite Rule"
The outcome of your case will be determined by a number of factors.
One of the most important things to consider is the "One-Bite Rule." This is an old law that can be used to protect dog owners from legal responsibility until they are made aware that their dog is dangerous or vicious. If the owner is aware, they will be held responsible.
Other factors
In many states the "One-Bite Rule" has been altered or completely eliminated in order to make dog owners fully responsible. However if the victim trespassed on the property or provoked the dog, the owner is not responsible. The specific laws in state where the incident occurred will make a big difference.
