The most common law is that if one injures anyone, you're responsible for any injuries that result from your actions even if the injuries are aggravated due to a condition that the victim had. As an example, suppose the dog is able to knock over an elderly man with a back injury. The impact might not be a major issue for someone younger and healthier, however it could result in surgery in this scenario since it caused the victim to suffer from a back problem. The dog's owner is accountable for the costs of the surgery, and not the amount that would be incurred for a healthy dog.
