Austin Dog Bite accident Attorney

Help with Dog Bite Claims

Some breeds of dogs have a reputation of viciousness, such as pit bulls, Rottweilers and Dobermans. When you or your child has been attacked by a dog your first concern is to obtain immediate medical treatment. Your next priority should be to discuss the attack with an Austin personal injury attorney who is highly familiar with the complexities involved in an animal attack claim. Attacks by larger animals are especially traumatic to children. They leave physical and emotional scars which may be lifelong. Medical science can do a great deal to repair the physical wounds and lessen disfigurement, but doesn't have a full answer for the emotional trauma.

Dog Bite Lawyer in Austin

Hundreds of children die each year from dog attacks. Those who survive may require extensive medical treatment to repair crushed bones and tissue damage. In severe case plastic surgery may be necessary in the future. The person may have to live with permanent disfigurement or disability even after extensive surgical repairs. If an insurance company representative offers a settlement which will more than cover your medical expenses to date, before you agree to anything you should consult an attorney. A dog bite lawyer at our firm can fully evaluate your situation and advise you on the amount of compensation that would be more appropriate.

Serious dog bites are painful and expensive to treat. Our firm has successfully helped thousands of families to maximize the amount they receive in damages by considering the amount of physical suffering and mental anguish the injured person has already experienced and will experience in the future along with other factors. For example, the animal owner is financially liable if the dog has bitten before, or the animal wandered onto your property. For a full evaluation of your case call Barry & Loewy LLP and discuss the circumstances of the attack with a concerned personal injury lawyer.
