DOG BITE INJURY CASES

If you were bitten by a dog, we recommend that you call the police immediately to report the incident. After that, you should seek medical attention especially if there is broken skin.

The owner of a dog that has bitten someone in the past, or a dog owner who has knowledge of his dog's aggressiveness toward others, may be held responsible for injuries caused by a dog bite. Aggression may be apparent in the way the dog acts toward others by barking, growling, showing teeth, jumping, lunging, or chasing.

We have represented many people, young and old, children, men and women, for lacerations and permanent scarring caused by a dog bite. There is often homeowner's insurance available to pay medical bills and the pain and suffering caused by those injuries. Other times, the owner will have to pay you directly for the harm caused.
