You or Your Child Has Suffered a Serious Dog Bite — Now What?
If you or a member of your family has suffered a dog bite or an injury resulting from an animal attack, there are some important steps you should take, if you haven't already:
- Seek medical attention, no matter how minor the injury may appear. Infection often sets in after an animal bite. Serious injury and dog bite scars can result from even a minor skin break.
- Record everything you remember about the incident, including the name and contact information of the animal's owner.
- Record everything that eyewitnesses may say about the attack.
- Don't try to settle with the owner or gather the animal's health records yourself.
- Talk to a qualified personal injury lawyer immediately.
Assigning Liability in a Dog Bite Case
In a dog bite claim, there is often more than one insured party who may be held liable for damages. For example, the pet owner, city or property owner may share responsibility for the accident. We will conduct a thorough investigation to determine exactly what happened. Rest assured, we have the experience, resources and skill needed to help you recover full and fair compensation.
