Dog Bites Lawyers

When a dog becomes overly aggressive and bites someone, that animal’s owner may hold legal responsibility for the actions of their pet. Many dogs involved in dog bite incidents only became aggressive because of improper restraint or training. As a result, the owner is held liable by the law for the cost of the injuries. Under civil law, the injured individual may be entitled to pursue compensation that can include the cost of medical treatment, out-of-pocket expenses, and even the value of wages lost during treatment and recovery.

If your injuries were caused by a dog bite, you should not have to shoulder the financial burden of your injuries.
