Dog Bite Cases

Pet owners have an obligation to control their animals to prevent injury to others.  If you or someone you know are bitten or attacked by a dog, or any other animal, there may be serious consequences and injury.

Injuries such as scarring, disfigurement, brain damage, broken limbs may result from an animal attack.  To ensure that you are compensated for your injury, contact a personal injury lawyer as early in the process so that evidence may be preserved, and gathered.  Depending on the injuries suffered from an animal attack, you may be entitled to recover for:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Property damage
• Pain and suffering

Punitive damages may also be awarded in dog bite or animal attack cases when a wrongdoer’s conduct is found to be more than negligent.  Reckless or intentional conduct is the type of conduct that may result in an award of punitive damages.  For example, if a dog owner is aware that his dog is prone to biting people, yet he allows the dog to run free near a place children play, such as a school or park, and his dog attacks a child, punitive damages may be awarded by a jury.
