Frequently Asked Questions:

Why do I need a lawyer in the event of a dog biting me or a family member?
Injuries from bites of animals can have serious consequences for which the law permits compensation. If you or your child have been bitten and are injured, it is important to get immediate medical attention and to consult an attorney once the injuries have been evaluated. A lawyer will be able to tell you, based upon your doctor’s evaluation of the injuries, whether you should be seeking any legal action against the animal’s owner.
