Monmouth County Dog Bite Lawyers

Owning pets is a joy that many people responsibly partake in. When animals are properly cared for and restrained, there are rarely complications. Unfortunately, those who enjoy having a pet are not always willing to take on the many responsibilities that come with it. When it comes to dogs, it is important that they are treated well and not made to be hostile, are fenced in properly, and are not prone to sudden attacks. When dog owners fail to uphold these obligations, other parties may be subjected to a vicious dog attack.

If you or someone you love has been attacked and bitten by a dog, the owner may be legally liable for your injuries. The Monmouth County dog bite lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., understand that a dog attack is a terrifying experience that can result in significant harm to the victim and we believe that these victims deserve to be fairly compensated. Contact us by calling 800-346-5529 to discuss the potential merits of legal action in your case.

Dog Bite Injurie

Though it may seem unlikely, the reality is that dog bites have the potential to cause serious harm and may even prove to have life-threatening consequences. Dog bite victims may require emergency medical attention and may bear lifelong wounds which remind them of a horrific animal attack. The following injuries and effects are often associated with dog bites:

  • Broken Bones
  • Lacerations
  • Puncture Wounds
  • Ligament and Tendon Damage
  • Disfigurement
  • Rabies and other infections

When an attack results in these kinds of injuries, costly medical bills will follow. Pursuing a case against an irresponsible dog owner may secure compensatory damages for these medical bills as well as for lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages incurred by the attack.
