Dog bites are considered among the most vicious and devastating – and unfortunately the most common – domestic animal attacks. While adults are sometimes the victims of a dog bite, more often than not, it is a child who is attacked and injured by a vicious dog. This is typically because a child may unknowingly wonder into a backyard where a dog is guarding, or because a negligent owner allowed their vicious animal to run loose unattended.
Either way, if you or your child have suffered from a dog bite injury, your life has likely been changed in many different ways. Not only are you contending with the physical and emotional pain of being bitten, you may also require surgeries, medications, time off of work, rehabilitation and other types of medical care – all of which can be costly.
Grogan & Souto, P.C. believe that if you or a loved one have been the victim of a dog bite, that the careless owner should be held responsible for their dog’s actions. We can assist you in filing a claim against the owner of the dog for the injuries their animal caused, and will aggressively fight for your right to receive the compensation you need for the medical care you now require as a result of the injury.
We can help you ensure that justice is served and that not only are you compensated, but that others won’t be injured by a dangerous dog. Call us today to discuss your injuries. (845) 294-6155.
