While most pet owners are responsible and considerate, some keep dangerous dogs and do not monitor them well enough. This negligence can become a public safety risk, particularly for young children.

Each dog bite case has its own circumstances that may influence the legal outcome. In most claims involving injury, the dog’s owner is held responsible. Some owners may try to blame a dog’s aggression on its breed, but studies have shown that a dog’s treatment and training by its owner are greater predictors of its behavior.

In addition, we will define the financial impact of your personal injury so you can focus on recovering the complete cost of your medical bills, lost wages and daily distress.

We will also help you with any benefit coverage such as medical insurance or worker’s comp to which you may be entitled. We’ll assist with any auto insurance that may include supplemental medical payments or “med pay” coverage that may pay your bills.

Equally important, we can negotiate any reimbursement obligations once compensation is recovered from any negligent parties.
