Dog bite and attack lawyer

We love our pets, but uncontrolled dogs can be seriously dangerous. If you or someone you love have been attacked by a dog and sustained injury, you are entitled to compensation to pay for your medical bills and recovery. The dog owner’s homeowners’ or renters’ insurance policy can be responsible for paying damages.

If you have sustained substantial injuries in a dog attack, it is important that you:

1. Seek medical attention. Insist on having a plastic surgeon tend to any wounds on the face.
2. Document the incident, including taking photos of the bite, dog, and site of the accident.
3. Report the incident to the owner and collect related rabies, vaccination and insurance records.
4. Report the incident to your local animal control agency, which should trigger a full investigation into the event. This will help ensure others are not injured by the same animal.
5. Contact a lawyer who can protect your rights.

If you have been harmed by a dog attack, call Davis & Gelshenen LLP at 866-427-2121 for a free initial consultation with one of our experienced, trusted, and recommended personal injury attorneys.  Davis & Gelshenen LLP handles dog bite cases throughout Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, and North Carolina.
