Have I got a case for a dog bite accident injury?
If a dog bit you and you subsequently got hurt, you probably have a case against the dog’s owners. There are always exceptions, but it is almost always the case that the dog’s owner is to blame and accountable for your injuries if you were on your own land, on public property, or were otherwise legally on private property and did not provoke the assault.
What is the value of my dog bite claim?
Every situation is unique. Your exact injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, upcoming medical needs, level of pain and suffering, and other considerations will all be taken into consideration. Requesting a free consultation is the greatest method to learn the value of your case.
What takes place if I want to bring a lawsuit or a claim?
There are many steps required. The first is getting medical attention. Once you are secure, you can collect proof, compile your own medical records, and consult with a lawyer. We will endeavor to reach a settlement with the at-fault party’s insurance provider or individual. We can take your matter to court if they will not settle. Be aware that 95% of lawsuits are resolved outside of court.
Will I put my family member or friend in danger?
We are aware of this worry. After all, the majority of dog bite injuries are caused by a dog that the victim knows. We are aware that you do not want to sue a friend or family member. You probably will not be suing them directly, though. If they have renters’ or homeowners’ insurance, it ought to cover the incident. You will not be suing them directly; instead, their insurance provider.
When should I contact a lawyer?
As soon as is practical. The process of filing a claim will not likely start until the full amount of your injuries is known, but we can start gathering evidence right now. We at Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas invite you to get in touch with us right away for a no-cost legal consultation. Contact us by dialing 909-982-0707.
