Protecting You After a Dog Bite Injury
Dog bites can be very traumatic to a person, both psychologically and physically. They can leave scarring or nerve damage, and can lead to infection. There can also be long-term implications from dog bite injuries. Young children who suffer a vicious dog attack may be terrified of dogs for the rest of their lives.
Dog owners have an obligation to keep aggressive dogs away from the public. At The Davies Law Firm, LLC, we are committed to holding dog owners strictly liable if their dog bites someone. We represent clients throughout Orlando, Florida, and the surrounding communities who suffered injuries as a result of a dog bite. Schedule your free initial consultation to discuss your dog bite or other animal bite with an experienced lawyer by contacting us online or by calling 407-401-7292 or 866-471-4282.
Issues Dog Bite Victims Should Consider
If you were bitten by a dog, it is important to:
- Get medical attention immediately
- Call the police and have them write an incident report
- Take good pictures of the dog bite injury as soon as possible
- Get the name, address and phone number of the dog owner
Sometimes, dog owners will tell you that they will "take care of it" and you don't need to call the police. Some dog owners will try to avoid any liability and attempt to dissuade you from contacting the police or an attorney. Do not listen to them. Get the name and contact information of the dog owner and make sure the incident report is filed by the police.
Personal injury cases are taken on a contingency fee basis, meaning we don't get paid if we don't recover compensation for you. There are no up-front costs or fees to you. Contact attorney Kathleen Davies online or call 407-401-7292 or 866-471-4282 to schedule your free initial consultation with our firm.
