Animal Attacks/Dog Bites

Animal attacks, though infrequent, can be devastating for everyone involved. The most common type of animal attack is a dog bite.

Dogs can bite for a variety of reasons including—

• Out of fear or in response to pain

• As a way to protect their owners and property or assert their dominance

• As a result of an aggressive temperament or encouragement by the owner

Children are frequently the victims due to their size, but an aggressive dog is a danger to everyone.

We most often think of the physical injuries associated with animal attacks, but attacks can also result in severe emotional problems for the victim. The worst attacks can lead to death.

Victims of animals attacks are entitled to compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, diminished earning capacity, lost income, and other costs and losses.

If you’ve suffered an injury as the result of someone else’s animal and you’re not being treated fairly, you need an experienced attorney to sort out your case and protect your rights.
