Dog Bite Injury Lawyers

We Understand the Devastating Impact of Animal Attacks

A dog is said to be a person’s best friend, but unfortunately, dogs sometimes viciously attack people, including children. Dog bites are the most common types of animal attacks, and one of the most dangerous – about one in five victims needs medical attention. Tens of thousands of people need reconstructive surgery or other invasive procedures as a result of their injuries.

These types of injuries can stay with victims for the rest of their lives. It’s important to understand how to keep your family safe from dog attacks, and it’s equally important to understand what to do if you’ve been bitten by a dog.

While dog bites are easily the most common animal attacks in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, other wild animals kept as pets can also cause injury. Even a bite from a small animal could sever a tendon or cause another type of serious injury. While some dog bite injuries are more severe than others, they should all be taken seriously. Common dog bite injuries include:

  • Amputation
  • Broken Bones
  • Ear, eye, face, neck, and nose injuries
  • Emotional Trauma
  • Infections
  • Nerve Damage
  • Permanent Scars
  • Rabies

Compensation for Your Dog Bite Injury

Most dog-bite claims are covered by the pet owner’s homeowner insurance. If you or your child have been bitten by a dog, contact Flager & Associates, PC today. One of our lawyers can deal with the insurance company for you and aggressively pursue the settlement you deserve. Our firm can help you obtain compensation for a variety of expenses, including, but not limited to, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and fear and anguish. Getting that compensation can make a huge difference in dog bite cases because it will pay for reconstructive surgery to reduce any disfigurement, as well as counseling and psychological treatment to help victims recover from emotional trauma. For more information, see our Dog Bite FAQ.

“Our daughter was bit several times on her arms and legs by a neighbor’s dog.  She suffered physical injury and psychological trauma.  Someone at work told me about Randy Flager & Associates; so I went for a free case evaluation.  My husband and I felt safe and secure placing our case in Randy’s hands.  When it was over, we received what we believe to be a very fair settlement of $400,000 without a trial, which would have been very stressful on our daughter.  We highly recommend Flager & Associates.  Not only are they good lawyers; they make you feel like part of the family and that’s very important to us!”
