We will begin an immediate investigation to collect necessary evidence and pursue compensation so that you or your loved one can receive appropriate counseling and therapy after a dog attack.
Scarring and disfigurement
Unfortunately, many dog bites can have lasting effects, leaving victims scarred or permanently disfigured. In addition to the monetary compensation you deserve for this devastation, you may also be able to recover the costs of any reconstructive or plastic surgery you need after an attack.
Children and Dog Bite Injuries
Children are commonly victims of dog bites for several reasons:
- Unlike adults, children are more naïve about strange dogs and will be more likely to try to pet a dog, even if it is dangerous
- Children are smaller and often threatening causing to provoke dogs more often
- Children are more vulnerable in dog attacks and unable to protect themselves
If your child suffered from a dog bite, it is necessary to consult with an attorney as soon as possible regarding damages in your case. Our attorney, Joesph Erlichman, will aggressively pursue maximum compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and for any reconstructive surgery or counseling for your child.
