More than 4.7 million people in the United States are bitten by dogs on an annual basis and approximately one out of every six bites are serious enough to require medical attention. If you have you suffered injuries after being bitten or attacked by a dog it is important to know your legal rights. Owners of dogs, not the breed or the individual dogs are responsible when bites or attacks occur.

Dog bites often result in permanent scarring both in the physical sense and in the psychological sense. Both physical scarring and emotional problems following dog bites can be mitigated if you see the right medical and psychological experts. Overcoming the psychological trauma of the bite is often more challenging than recovering from the physical injuries.

Your ability to recover compensation depends on where you were bitten or attacked, as laws concerning dog bites and personal injury vary between states, counties and cities. Our firm can make sure that you are seeing the right medical and psychological professionals to help. We can assist you in figuring out your rights under these various laws, as well as help with insurance claims and requests for compensation.
