We Protect Your Rights as a Plaintiff
Some dog owners do not take responsibility for their pet’s aggressive behavior. The owner could claim that you provoked the animal or are in some way responsible for the bite.
Our legal team will counter this falsehood with evidence such as:
- Photos and/or images of your injuries
- Photos or videos of the attack, if possible
- Prior complaints or reports about the dog
- Witness statements
- Police report (if authorities were called)
- Statement from your healthcare provider
- Expert testimony if needed
When You Know the Dog’s Owner
Any dog is capable of biting and attacking, even dogs that you know. Sometimes, a dog bite victim is reluctant to pursue compensation if he or she knows the pet’s owner and enjoys an otherwise close relationship with the dog owner. Our personalized approach to representation allows us to take such factors into consideration. Subject to the unique circumstances of your case, a dog bite lawyer with Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. can seek compensation from the owner’s property or liability insurance, with little or no negative financial impact on the owner’s personal finances.
You deserve legal representation delivered with compassion and respect for your situation. A dog bite lawyer with our firm is ready to help. Call (516) 932-0400.
