A dog bite can cause serious physical injuries, permanent scarring, nerve damage, infections, emotional trauma, and lasting fear. Some victims need emergency care, stitches, surgery, plastic surgery, antibiotics, rabies-related treatment, or long-term counseling. Children are especially vulnerable because dog attacks can cause severe injuries to the face, head, neck, arms, and hands.
BHL Accident Lawyers represents people injured by dog bites and animal attacks. Our firm helps victims pursue compensation for medical bills, future treatment, lost wages, pain and suffering, scarring, disfigurement, emotional distress, and the long-term impact of the attack.
Dog bite claims are not always simple. The dog owner, property owner, landlord, business, caretaker, or another responsible party may be involved depending on where the attack happened and who had control of the dog. Insurance companies may also try to minimize the injuries or blame the victim.
If you or your child was bitten or attacked by a dog, BHL Accident Lawyers can review your case and explain your legal options during a free consultation.
The dog owner is often the primary responsible party in a dog bite case. However, depending on the facts, other parties may also be involved.
Potentially responsible parties may include:
The location of the attack, who controlled the dog, who owned the property, and whether there was available insurance can all affect the claim.
BHL Accident Lawyers reviews the full situation to identify every responsible party and every possible source of compensation.
Strong evidence can make a major difference in a dog bite claim. The evidence should help prove what happened, who controlled the dog, the extent of the injuries, and how the attack affected the victim.
Important evidence may include:
BHL Accident Lawyers helps preserve and organize evidence so the claim reflects the full impact of the attack.
