A dog bite attack can cause serious physical and psychological injuries. Victims of dog bites are often young children, the elderly, or hard-working delivery people simply trying to do their job. You should never be expected to pay the price for injuries caused by an irresponsible dog owner.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a dog bite attack, contact me today for a free initial consultation to learn more about your rights.
Liability in Dog Bite Cases
If you are attacked by a dog, its owner can be held accountable. If the dog has bitten or shown aggressive behavior in the past, then the dog's owner has a responsibility to take steps to prevent the animal from biting you or your child. If you have been bitten, it is important to take photos of the injuries and get the names and contact information of any witnesses. You should also report the dog bite attack to the local dog warden or police authorities.
As your lawyer, I will conduct a thorough investigation of the your case. In many cases, the dog owner's homeowner's insurance company will cover the damages.
Damages in Dog Bite Cases
Dog bites often result in permanent scarring and disfigurement. Dog bites can also cause nerve damage. Some victims are traumatized by their attack and require psychological counseling to overcome the fear and anxiety they experience when around other animals.
As your attorney, I will fight to make sure that you are fully compensated for your injuries. Don't make the common mistake of speaking with an insurance company claim representative before you consult with an experienced dog bite injury attorney. My office will aggressively pursue your injury claim to maximize your recovery.
