Dog Bites

Dog bites and other animal attacks can cause serious injuries. No matter how much the owner loves his dog and no matter how loving a dog is, even good dogs can seriously hurt people. Every year, thousands of people are injured as a result of dog bites and other vicious animal attacks. In circumstances involving dog bites and animal attacks, laws exist to protect humans, not dogs or animals.

People seriously injured by animals often incur not only pain and suffering, but also medical bills and lost wages. Injuries can affect the entire family. Children are the most frequent victims of dog bites and animal attacks. In such cases, our firm strives to seek compensation for past expenses, past pain and suffering, and also future anguish and medical treatment. We can help secure a narrative report from a cosmetic surgeon that could establish the need for future corrective surgery to lessen the effects of scarring injuries.

Insurance Coverage for Animal Attacks

An insurance company is required to compensate a child for future medical expenses that an expert says will be required, even if the surgery does not occur for years down the road. In that event, your child will have the funds to have future surgeries to alleviate the appearance of permanent scarring.

Insurance companies for the home owner or renter cover these injuries for dog owners. In almost all of these cases, the dog owner does not have to pay anything personally because their insurance company will oftentimes pay for them.
