If you have been injured by a dog bite or animal attack, you may be facing medical bills, scarring, emotional trauma, lost income, and a difficult recovery. Our personal injury team helps dog bite victims understand their legal options and pursue the compensation they may be entitled to.
A dog attack can happen suddenly and cause injuries ranging from puncture wounds to severe facial injuries and permanent scarring. Children and adults may experience significant physical and emotional consequences after an attack.
Treatment may involve emergency care, stitches, surgery, antibiotics, reconstructive procedures, or ongoing medical care. Victims may also experience anxiety, fear, emotional distress, and time away from work.
If a dog owner’s negligence or other legally actionable conduct contributed to your injuries, you may have a personal injury claim. Our role is to investigate what happened, identify potentially responsible parties, document your losses, and pursue the compensation available under applicable law.

Documenting the Attack: Evidence may include photographs, medical records, animal control reports, witness statements, photographs of the location, and other relevant information.
Handling Insurance Communications: We communicate with insurance companies and work to protect your interests throughout the claims process.
Calculating Your Damages and Litigation When Necessary: Depending on the circumstances, damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, scarring, emotional distress, and other losses permitted by law. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, litigation may be necessary to pursue your claim.

03 — Collect Witness Information
Identify anyone who witnessed the attack or may have information about the dog or circumstances surrounding the incident.
02 — Document Your Injuries
If possible, take photographs of your injuries and continue documenting how they develop during your recovery. Obtain the owner's contact and insurance information when possible and document information about the dog.
01 — Get Medical Attention
Seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if the wound initially appears minor. Report the incident to the appropriate authorities or animal control agency when appropriate and obtain available documentation.
