About Dog Bite Law
Whether you call it a dog bite, dog attack, animal attack, or animal bite injury — if you were bitten or attacked by someone's dog or animal, the owner may be legally responsible for your injuries and damages.
The USA has some of the strictest dog bite liability laws in the world. Most states follow 'strict liability' — meaning the dog owner is liable for injuries even if the dog has never bitten anyone before and even if the owner had no warning the dog was dangerous.
Whether a dog bit you, knocked you down, scratched you, or frightened you into a fall — our attorneys handle all types of dog and animal injury cases. You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, scarring, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering. Most dog bite cases settle without going to court — call us for a free evaluation.
