Dog Bites

While most dog owners never expect their dog to bite someone, dog bite injuries can and do happen. If you’ve been bitten or seriously injured by a dog, it’s important to take action promptly. Although serious bites often involve animal control, contacting us early can help protect your rights and ensure a thorough response.

As you focus on recovery, we’ll begin investigating the circumstances of your case. This includes examining the dog’s history, determining whether the owner was aware of any dangerous behavior, and assessing whether appropriate safety measures—such as leashes or fences—were in place.

As dog lovers ourselves, we understand that serious dog bite injuries are often the result of negligent owners, not the dogs. We’re here to handle the legal complexities and communicate with the at-fault party, so you can prioritize your healing with peace of mind.
