Not all attorneys take dog bite injury cases seriously. We do. Our winning team provides high-quality legal guidance and tenacious representation in pursuit of the cash settlement or trial verdict you deserve.
Dog bites can cause serious injuries requiring immediate and costly medical intervention. This is especially true if the victim is a child. Due to the fact that a child's face and throat are more easily reached by the aggressive animal, dog bites in children more frequently result in severe, life-threatening and even fatal injury.
There is also the psychological trauma associated with the attack, which can lead to a diagnosed condition such as depression, anxiety disorder or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In many cases serious scarring is left on the hands, arms, legs or face, requiring costly plastic or reconstructive surgery.
Fortunately, there are legal options for obtaining the financial compensation you deserve for the injury, the medical bills and the pain and suffering cause by a severe dog bite. It may even be possible to file a claim with the responsible party's homeowners insurance, whether or not the attack took place on their property.
