Man’s best friend – most of the time
Training dogs does not entirely eliminate their risk to society. Dog owners need to take responsibility for their dogs and ensure that other people are safe around them. Dog bites and attacks can cause serious harm, including infections. If you have been bitten by someone else’s dog, you have the right to claim compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. The lawsuit can succeed if it is proven that the victim did not provoke the dog in any way. This can be quite difficult to prove, which is why you need experienced attorneys to represent you.
At Miami Legal Firm, we have seasoned attorneys who are experienced in cases of dog bites and attacks. Our attorneys will ensure that you get fair compensation, including damages for medical bills, any trauma suffered, loss of physical abilities and emotional distress.
Various professionals are exposed to these risks on a daily basis, such as messengers, delivery men, mail carriers and other employees who have to visit homes as part of their work. An employee who is legally able to enter the premises of another citizen may be the victim of untrained dogs. If you encounter such a scenario, contact our attorneys to explore your options for pursuing a suitable personal injury claim.
In most cases, the dog owner can be held responsible for a bite/attack, regardless of whether the dog became vicious due to an underlying medical condition.
If you or someone you know is suffering from injuries due to a dog bite, contact Miami Legal Firm to ensure that your rights are protected and to receive the compensation you deserve.
