A dog may turn vicious for no apparent reason and attack a passing stranger or even a familiar person. Today we know that some breeds of dogs, like bull terriers, Rottweilers and pit bulls, are indeed known for their aggressive tendencies. The owners, when they choose any type of dog, have a responsibility for their dog’s actions and any injuries that the animal may cause. Even friendly and well-trained dogs may attack victims out of the blue, shocking both the victim as well as the dog owner. Such personal injuries can lead to serious infections for the victim along with deep emotional and physical pain.
In all of our dog bite injury cases, we advance all costs. No attorney fees apply unless we are able to obtain a recovery on your behalf.
The legal rights of a dog bite injury victim depend on where the attack happened and laws vary from place to place. But generally, a dog bite victim can recover compensation from:
- Someone whose negligence caused the attack
- Someone who violated a leash law or a law prohibiting dogs from running loose
- Someone who kept a dog with the knowledge that the dog had a violent history
Other types of animals and pets can also exhibit aggressive tendencies and attack. Lawsuits based on an animal bite may be brought for virtually any type of domesticated animal. The personal injury lawyers of Mitchell S. Sexner & Associates LLC stand ready to assist you with such a dog bite injury case.
