People have a right to own dogs as pets, but that right includes a responsibility to control their pets. Dog owners whose dogs bite other people can and should be held accountable for the damages.

• No matter what breed of dog bit you or a relative—pit bull, German shepherd, rottweiller, or other—you need to get medical attention and file a claim for injuries.
• Victims of dog bite attacks and dog mauling are often small children, vulnerable elderly people, and delivery people including mail carriers. No matter what the owner says caused the attack, the owner is responsible for the injuries.
• The dog bite victim needs compensation for medical bills, psychological trauma, infection, pain and suffering, and plastic surgery for scarring and disfigurement. In especially serious cases, the dog may transmit a necrotizing virus that causes a flesh-eating disease.
• It takes time to know the full extent of dog bite injuries. Our attorneys will protect your rights after a dog bite and take the necessary time to reach a fair settlement from the dog's owner and the insurance company. (Homeowner's insurance generally covers dog bite injuries.)

Do not lose your right to sue. There are statutes of limitations on personal injury claims. You have 6 months to give notice from the date of the accident. By filing a claim quickly, you will protect those rights. Contact a personal injury lawyer to discuss your case. The consultation is free. All of our fees for injury cases are contingency based: You owe no attorney fees unless we recover funds for you.
