For many people, a dog is a loving companion and a beloved member of the family. But, unfortunately, not all dogs are “man’s best friend†and some can cause serious dog bite injuries or even fatalities.
Depending on the applicable state laws, if you were injured in a dog bite or animal attack, you may be able to recover money damages in a lawsuit against the dog’s owner. Dog bite laws vary from state to state, with some states applying a strict liability standard and others applying a negligence standard. A dog bite attorney can help you understand the laws of your state and file a lawsuit for any dog bite injuries from the attack.
