Dog Bites

We represent dog bite attack victims

A dog bite or other animal attack can cause serious and log lasting injuries, including scarring and disfigurement, secondary infection, emotional distress and psychological damage. These injuries can be even more severe when a child is the victim. If you were the victim in a dog bite attack, you may be able to obtain compensation for your injury. In most cases, the dog bite claim will be brought against the homeowner’s insurance company of the dog’s owner. In some cases, you may be able to sue the owner directly.

If you or someone you know has suffered injuries due to a dog bite, some steps you can take to protect your rights and assist the personal injury attorney include:

  • Identify the dog and its owner as soon as possible
  • Take pictures/video of the bite injuries
  • Seek medical attention immediately
  • Record any witness information
  • Keep accurate records of all expenses and receipts (e.g. prescriptions, medical bills, lost wages, and records of activities missed because of the dog bite)

You need to contact a Massachusetts dog bite injury lawyer who will pursue maximum compensation for your dog bit injury while you focus on healing.
