DOG BITES

Dogs are wonderful, loving creatures; however, there are well over 4 million reported dog bites in the U.S. each year. This is not to say that your neighbor’s furry friend is actually “Cujo” in disguise, but sometimes dogs can get scared or play too rough. Whatever the cause, accidents involving dog bites can be particularly scary. Bacteria, disease, and external damage are all worrisome factors when recovering from the initial shock of the incident, as well as coping with the fear of it happening again.

As only a small percentage of dog bites are reported to authorities, it’s clear to see the frequency at which an event like this can occur. Despite the best efforts of pet owners, accidents involving dog bites can create more than just physical damage. At Harris Law, we have handled countless cases involving canine-related injuries. Our team has worked decades to learn exactly how to approach sensitive situations such as these. Whether the dog was a friend, or a stranger with a temper, we will fight aggressively for the compensation you deserve.

Although most cases involving a dog-related injury primarily impact minors, it can happen to anyone. A case like this requires someone who can properly recognize the delicacy of a situation while remaining steadfast in the pursuit of justice. Cases involving minors, no matter the circumstance, are automatically viewed with a special degree of consideration, but rest assured that any victim of such an unfortunate accident will be taken care of appropriately.
