Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do after a dog bite?
Get medical help right away. Report the bite to animal control. Take photos of the wound and try to identify the dog owner. Then call us — we’ll guide you from there.
Can I still sue if the dog has never bitten anyone before?
Yes, especially if the dog was off-leash or in violation of local laws. That may be enough to show negligence.
Who pays for my medical bills?
Usually, the dog owner’s homeowner’s or renter’s insurance — not their personal bank account.
What if my child was bitten?
We handle many child bite cases. These are especially serious due to scarring, trauma, and long-term medical needs.
