Most people love dogs. They’re smart, entertaining, loyal, and, perhaps most importantly, they return the love we give. Unfortunately, certain dogs are either born with a nasty streak, have owners who failed to train them properly, or, in the worst cases, were downright abused by their owners. Whatever the case may be, if you are bitten by a dog, the injuries you’ve sustained are most likely severe, which is why you are now looking into recovering financial compensation. Please read on and speak with our experienced attorneys to learn more about what you can do to recover compensation.
Certain breeds of dogs are surprisingly strong and athletic, and when they catch a human off-guard with an attack, the following injuries can occur:
In short, the answer in most cases is yes. For example, if you were bitten by a dog while either in a public place or while you were lawfully in a private place, there is a very good chance you will be entitled to financial compensation. However, if you were bitten because you were either trespassing, taunting the dog, or acted negligently otherwise, you will most likely be denied your right to compensation. For instance, if a dog owner has a prominently-displayed sign to the effect of “Beware of Dog,” placed on his or her property and you enter anyway, the owner or dog may not be considered liable for your injuries–unless the victim was under the age of six years old.
After a dog attack, the first thing you should do is call 911. The police will report the incident and you will be taken to receive medical treatment. Here, a physician will provide you with medical documentation, which you may use to prove your claim. You should also hire a knowledgeable personal injury attorney, as he or she will gather and present evidence, such as security camera footage, in the most effective way possible.
