Many of us are dog owners, and we love our dogs just like a family member. In fact, the Humane Society of the United States estimates that 84.6 million households in the United Stated have a pet. It is further estimated that there were 89.7 million dogs kept as pets in U.S. households.

Although dogs are a great source of companionship, joy, and laughter, they are animals and sometimes they attack and/or bite causing severe personal injuries. Bites and attacks from dogs and other animals can cause you and/or your child to suffer from serious physical and mental injuries. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, dog bites pose a serious health risk to our communities and society. More than 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs each year in the United States, and more than 800,000 receive medical attention for dog bites, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC). At least half of those bitten are children.

What Compensation Can You Recover in a Dog Bite Injury Lawsuit?

Our firm understands the importance of seeking just compensation for dog bite victims and, in some cases, their family members as well. A dog bite can cause serious injuries, including harm to the face, ears, nose, arms and legs. In some cases, the dog will go for the victim’s throat. As a result, most dog bite injuries are deep cuts, punctures, crushing wounds and bone fractures. Cosmetic surgery may also be necessary to repair scars and/or other disfigurement cause by a dog bite. However, some victims may suffer permanent disfigurement or other disabilities.

If you or a loved one is bitten or injured by a dog, cat or other animal, our attorneys at Chandler | Ross, PLLC, will seek damages that include:

• Past and future medical expenses
• Lost income and diminished future earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Mental Anguish
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Emotional distress
• Loss of consortium
