Understanding Your Legal Rights After a Dog Bite

Laws regarding dog bite liability vary by state, but in many cases, dog owners may be held responsible for injuries caused by their pets. Key legal considerations in dog bite claims include:

Liability Rules – Some states impose strict liability, meaning owners are responsible for dog attacks regardless of prior aggression.

Available Compensation – Potential damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Our attorneys provide legal guidance tailored to the specifics of each case, ensuring that clients understand their rights and legal options.
