Dog Bite Injury

Experienced Lawyers For Dog Bite Accidents & Injuries

Under New York law, people who have been bitten by dogs may pursue an ordinary-negligence claim against the owner, or a strict-liability claim if the owner knew or should have known of the dog's vicious propensities. This can include growling or snapping at others. Our law firm will look closely at all of the evidence in order to build a persuasive case against the dog owners. While we are establishing our case, our dog bite attorneys in New York City will also compile all evidence of your medical expenses and other damages associated with the dog or animal attack.

Dogs are loyal, affectionate animals. When trained properly, dogs can be great pets. Unfortunately, not all dog owners properly train or supervise their animals. When dogs attack or bite a person, the results can be disastrous. Due to their smaller stature, children are very often dog bite victims. Dog bites, particularly to the face, neck and head, can be disfiguring and require cosmetic surgery. Moreover, the trauma of these events can create physical and emotional scars.
