A claim for damages resulting from a dog bite can provide essential support to individuals harmed by aggressive dogs and their owners who have failed in their duty of care. Compensation sought may cover a range of losses including medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost income, and more.

As you navigate your daily activities, a fundamental expectation of safety accompanies you, extending beyond the confines of your home. Should this safety be compromised due to the negligence of another, you are not alone in bearing the resulting burdens.

"Minor" Bites Can Have Major Consequences

We recognize the risks posed by inattentive and irresponsible dog owners to the well-being of their communities, guests, and the public at large. Holding these negligent parties accountable, 844 Don’t Settle’s network of attorneys tirelessly pursue comprehensive financial restitution for our clients.

The aftermath of a dog bite can result in scarring, even if the initial injury seems minor. Often, medical professionals opt not to stitch animal bite wounds to mitigate the risk of infection, potentially leading to more severe scarring and lasting disfigurement. The severity of dog bites escalates when they penetrate beyond the skin, reaching the muscles or bones, or when a single bite evolves into a sustained attack involving multiple bites. Such incidents, sometimes escalating into full-out dog attacks, can cause significant harm.

A Potential for Long Lasting Injury

In the United States, a dog bite occurs approximately every 75 seconds, highlighting the alarming frequency of these incidents and the resulting severe injuries endured by countless individuals. These injuries, often preventable, contribute to a significant toll, with victims collectively facing damages exceeding $1 billion annually in medical expenses and lost wages. It’s important to note that due to underreporting, the actual figures may be substantially higher.

Beyond the physical harm inflicted by dog bites, victims may also endure profound emotional trauma, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This psychological distress can significantly impact their daily lives, potentially leading to an aversion to dogs and heightened anxiety in their presence.

The financial repercussions stemming from extensive medical bills and lost wages not only affect the victim but also ripple through their families and the workforce. When victims are unable to work while recovering from dog bite injuries, businesses may experience operational challenges due to understaffing. These consequences underscore the far-reaching effects of dog attacks on individuals, communities, and the economy as a whole.
