Dog Bites Cause Scars, Facial Disfigurement, Even Death-Call a Tough Personal Injury Lawyer
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, dogs bite approximately 4.5 million people every year in the United State. Of those, nearly one in five who are attacked-more than 885,000 people-require medical treatment of some kind, with tens of thousands requiring reconstructive surgery. Shockingly, there are dozens of dog attack fatalities every year as well, which constitutes a wrongful death lawsuit. Dog bites are responsible for over a third of all homeowner insurance liability claims, because dog owners' property insurance is there to provide compensation for dog bite victims. Very often, however, people who are bit by a dog do not know how to go about pursuing a dog bite settlement and often feel as intimidated by the dog owner as they were by the dog itself. That's where we come in. We will do all the research necessary to find the owner of the hostile dog that bit you and hold that person responsible. As Rhode Island and Massachusetts personal injury attorneys for over 35 years, when it comes to helping our clients, we're far more aggressive than any dog and will work hard to obtain justice on your behalf.
