Dog and animal attacks — often more serious, and more traumatic, than people expect.
01
Get medical care & report the attack
See a doctor right away — bite wounds carry a real risk of infection. Report the attack to animal control or the police so it’s on record, especially if you don’t know the dog’s vaccination history.
02
Document the attack
Photograph your injuries and where it happened. Get the owner’s name, address, and insurance info, and collect contact details for anyone who saw it. Ask for a copy of the animal control or police report.
03
Notify the insurance company
Most dog bite claims are covered under the owner’s home or renters’ insurance. We report the claim and manage every piece of correspondence from there.
04
We establish responsibility
We look at what the owner knew, whether the dog had shown warning signs, and whether basic precautions — like a leash — were ignored. That’s how we build the case for who’s accountable.
05
We account for the full impact
Beyond medical bills, dog attacks often leave scarring and real emotional trauma — especially for children. We account for all of it, including lost income and pain and suffering.
06
Then we take action
We pursue the claim with the owner’s insurer (and anyone else responsible), negotiate firmly, and file suit if needed. These cases have deadlines, so it’s best to reach out early.
