Paulozzi LPA Injury Lawyers is a top-rated personal injury firm that has represented dog bite victims for over 25 years. Costly medical bills, emotional stress, and scarring are a common result of animal attacks. It is estimated that over 800,000 dog bites are treated each year in the United States, and the insurance industry pays in excess of one billion dollars in claims each year. However, the sad truth is that insurance companies are still denying valid claims and egregiously compensating victims.
Insurance companies frequently fail to cover all expenses related to animal attack injuries, leaving victims with substantial medical bills. These bills can include future treatments for nerve damage, rehabilitation, plastic surgery, pain & suffering, and counseling. Victims deserve full compensation for all damages to avoid long-term financial burdens caused by someone else’s violent animal.
While Pitbulls and Rottweilers are often noted for their aggressive behavior, all dog breeds can be violent. These two breeds alone account for up to 50% of dog bites in the United States, a statistic influenced by how they are raised. However, our experience shows that dogs of all breeds and sizes can cause injuries.
Dog owners who mistreat or neglect their pets, leaving them chained for extended periods, must be held accountable. The environment in which a dog is raised significantly affects its behavior, and our law firm thoroughly examines all relevant aspects of your dog bite case.
Dog owners have a duty to prevent their pets from harming others. When they neglect this responsibility, severe injuries can result. Proving negligence is crucial in making an insurance claim for your injuries. Key considerations include:
Understanding and adhering to local legal regulations is essential for building a strong case.
