Recently I heard from someone who was bitten by a dog. She wanted to know if she needed an attorney. I told her yes. An attorney can make the situation less stressful and more efficient; they know what to say and what not to say. A good attorney can handle the case with the dog owner’s insurance company and get the claim resolved without going to court – most of the time.
An experienced attorney can evaluate your claim and determine compensation for you, which includes any lost time from work, especially if you are injured and out for a substantial amount of time. Retaining an attorney early in the process is the key to a better settlement for you – it ensures that the claim will be handled quickly and in an efficient manner.
