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.

There are close to five million dog bite victims in the United States every year. Statistics show that about one thousand individuals are treated for dog bites every day. Some of these bites prove to be fatal and most victims are children who are bitten in the face. There are thousands of facial injuries reported every year because of dog bites. The dog usually targets the lips, nose and cheeks.
Pit bulls and Rottweilers seem to be the most dangerous dogs out there today. It has been shown that any dog trained to attack will probably bite someone. When a dog becomes dangerous, it is usually the fault of the owner. Even though a dog has the reputation of being dangerous, the dog can be a loving pet – treat a dog well and it will love you – no matter what the breed is.
