With over 30 years of experience, we at the Law Offices of Wilkirson & Associates pride ourselves on providing skilled and knowledgeable guidance to clients in animal liability cases.

Animal owners, caretakers, and handlers have a responsibility to maintain control of the animal at all times. If a dog or other animal bites you, or even chases you, causing injuries, the person responsible for the animal may be liable for your medical expenses, pain, suffering and lost wages.

After being bitten by a dog, many individuals do not know what to do. It is important that you:

• Get the medical treatment your injuries require
• Identify the animal and owner whenever possible
• Keep records of the incident
• Obtain a statement from any witnesses to the attack
• Investigate the scene and take photos if necessary

The medical repercussions from a dog bite may be severe and last a lifetime. You may have permanent damage that requires numerous surgeries and medical therapies over the course of your lifetime. In children, the physical damages are often more severe due to their ages and vulnerability in an attack.

If you have sustained a dog bite or other wound in an animal attack, do not hesitate to get in touch with our firm. We utilize many years of experience and an extensive understanding of dog bite cases throughout the course of seeking compensation for the losses you have suffered in the attack.
