Dog Bite Questions
I’ve been bitten by a dog. What should I Do?
Your fist step is to obtain treatment for your injuries. From a non-medical standpoint, to ensure you obtain the compensation that you are entitled to, you should contact us at Findlay Law Offices. The faster you can enlist an experienced and qualified dog bite lawyer on your side, the easier it will be to prove your case.
What sort of legal action can I take?
If you’ve been bitten by a dog, it’s often the result of negligence on the part of the dog owner. If someone does not have proper control of their dog, or fails to properly warn others of their dangerous dog, you may be entitled to compensation.
What sort of compensation am I entitled to?
It depends on the specifics of your situation, but you may be entitled to receive compensation for your medical bills, any lost wages, pain and suffering and, in some cases, punitive damages.
The dog who injured me belonged to a family member. What should I do?
Unfortunately, this is a common situation. Almost 60% of dog bite victims are children, and often bites occur when children are around a dog belonging to a close friend or family member. Most people do not want to file a lawsuit against a family member. If this situation applies to you, we recommend that you contact us so we can help you explore all your options.
How do I know if I have a viable dog bit injury legal case?
You don’t. Dog bite cases are surprisingly nuanced. Only a qualified dog bite lawyer, such as the team at Findlay Attorneys, can determine if you have a legitimate chance of claiming compensation for your injuries.
