When Dog Owners Fail to Restrain Their Dangerous Pets
When a dog runs free (either from escaping from restraints of being unsupervised), everyone in the immediate area is possibly at risk. Unfortunately, dogs, especially notoriously dangerous breeds like Pit Bulls and Rottweilers, do not discriminate — they will attack anyone regardless of age or physical condition. Not only could you suffer injuries from the biting itself, you could also slip and fall due to the dog scaring you and forcing you to try and run away. In the end, however, the owner is responsible if their out-of-control animal causes serious injury. The attorneys of Mayer & Rosenberg work hard to prove the negligence of a dog owner and secure compensation for the damages you have suffered from a dog bite by filing of a personal injury or premises liability suit.
The most ardent dog lover can become phobic after an attack. Emotional and physical scars are common, and the dog's owner should be held responsible. Contact an attorney at our Kansas City office by calling us at 816-892-4675, toll free at 866-604-9823 or contact us online.
Owners are Strictly Liable for Dog Bites and Animal Attacks
The owner of a dog who has attacked in the past must take extra steps to ensure that their animal is restrained. Regardless of the circumstances or leash laws in effect, pet owners are strictly liable for damages resulting for attacks. We investigate the circumstances of your injury, document the scene, interview witnesses and consult medical experts to prove the extent of your injuries. We are results-oriented and seek the best possible compensation for you.
At Your Side After a Dog Bite-Related Injury
At Mayer & Rosenberg, we want you to concentrate on recovering from your injuries, not worrying about the legal process. We take the burden off your shoulders, freeing up your time and energy to deal with your physical and emotional scars. Victims, particularly children, can suffer lifelong aftereffects.
If you allow the dog owner to minimize his or her liability or let an insurance company downplay the extent of your injuries, you run the risk of jeopardizing your rights and limiting the compensation you need and deserve.
