Financial Compensation After a Dog Bite
After an attack by a dog, the dog’s owner may be held responsible for the following types of damages:
- Physical pain and suffering
- Mental and emotional trauma
- Current and future medical expenses
- Current and future lost wages or income
- Lasting or permanent scarring or disfigurement
When our team establishes the value of your dog bite injuries, we will work hard to secure intangible (e.g., pain and suffering) and future expenses (e.g., reasonably anticipated future medical procedures).
One of our most important goals when seeking compensation is to ensure you are appropriately and justly compensated for the medical care and related support you require.
Why a Dog Bite Entitles You to Compensation for Pain and Suffering
When you are injured by a dog, the physical and emotional trauma could last a long time or even a lifetime. When we include pain and suffering in your potential compensation package, we base its value on:
- The severity of your injuries
- The degree of psychological harm you have experienced
- The limitations your injuries impose on your lifestyle
- The distress your injuries and recovery might cause in the future
A Huntington dog bite injury lawyer at Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. can help you get compensation for your physical and emotional pain and suffering. You do not have to face this legal battle on your own. We are here for you during every step of the process.

Your Deadline to File Gets Closer Every Day
New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules (CVP) §214 requires you to file your personal injury lawsuit within a predetermined amount of time. Understanding and complying with the required filing deadline is essential to a successful outcome. Failing to comply with the statute of limitations could prevent you from filing your lawsuit at all.
Once the deadline has expired, it is almost certain that any lawsuit initiated after that point in time will almost certainly be dismissed. If this occurs, you will be left with no way to compel financial compensation from the at-fault dog owner.
Our legal team can identify the statute of limitations in your case and ensure we comply as we work toward your financial recovery.
