Dog Bite Legal Services

Legal Options After a Dog Bite

Dogs are regarded as man's best friend. However, dogs are still animals, and they need good owners. Without proper supervision and control, dog bites and attacks can and do occur.

If you've been bitten by a dog, don't wait to get medical help. You also shouldn't wait to get legal help. You may deserve compensation. To find out if you are eligible, talk to the personal injury lawyers at Murray & Murray LLC. We have the experience needed to handle your dog bite case.

Most people are surprised to realize that dog bites are considered under personal injury law. Many states have strict liability laws for dogs, and dog owners are responsible for physical injury and property damage caused by their dogs. In Louisiana, dog owners are responsible if:

• They are aware that their dog's behavior could cause damage
• The bite could have been prevented with proper oversight
• The dog bite victim did not provoke the attack
• The owner didn't take sufficient action to prevent the attack

When you are bitten by a dog, your case is unique. This means your settlement is also unique. The severity of your injuries will likely impact your compensation. If the injury results in lasting damage or disfiguration, you are likely going to get more compared to less serious injuries.

To get a better sense of what compensation you deserve, talk to Murray & Murray LLC today. We will evaluate your case and help you determine what justice looks like. Get a free consultation by calling now!

Types of Dog Bite Injuries

We are talking about dog bites, but it's important to understand that this is a limited description. The dog doesn't even have to bite you. You may be entitled to a settlement if the dog leaps on you or knocks you over. These cases can also involve animals other than dogs.

The most common types of injuries include:

• Puncture wounds
• Scratches and cuts
• Torn muscles and ligaments
• Eye and face injuries
• Scars

Clearly, all of these injuries can have a lasting and detrimental impact on your life. During recovery, you may have mounting medical bills or lost wages. You could also be faced with pain and suffering. To make sure you're protected during this time, Murray & Murray LLC is here for legal support.
