Don’t Let an Attack Cause Permanent Damage

Millions of people are attacked or bitten by dogs every year. The most susceptible victims are often children who may not see dogs as potential dangers and are often at the right height to sustain serious injuries to their neck or face. Whether you or your loved one has been bitten, it’s important that you seek legal advocacy from a New York personal injury lawyer from The Law Offices of Scott Gilman.

We have the resources and knowledge to help you, no matter what your circumstances. Call our firm today at (800) 599-5950.

Do I Have a Claim?

There are a few basic requirements used to determine if an individual can file a dog bite lawsuit.

• You may have grounds for a claim if you fit the following:
• A dog caused your injury and pain
• You can file a lawsuit against a dog owner
• You did nothing to provoke the animal
• You were legally allowed to be in the place you were when the bite occurred

If you can prove all of the following, our New York personal injury attorney can help you recover damages for your medical bills, pain and suffering, and loss of wages. We provide dedicated representation to help you get the medical treatment you need.

Have You Been Hurt by a Dangerous Dog?

All dogs have the potential to be vicious if not well-trained, abused, underfed, or otherwise not properly taken care of. Dog trained to be guard dogs should be fenced in to prevent unsuspecting children from petting them. Likewise, all animals should be properly enclosed to prevent them from escaping. The classification of “dangerous dog” is therefore given to an animal who is unattended, unleashed, and acting viciously.

When you or your loved one have been injured due to a dog bite or attack, seek the legal attention you need after you receive medical care. Call our New York dog bite lawyer at (800) 599-5950 to schedule your free initial consultation.
