Dog Bite and Dog Attack Lawyers

Attorneys serving Wisconsin for Victims of Dog Bites and Dog Attacks

Millions of people are bitten by dogs in the United States every year. More than 800,000 of those people require medical attention for the injuries they sustained after a dog bite.

Dogs can cause injury though without biting; they can lunge, jump, charge, or scratch and under Wisconsin law, a dog owner is strictly liable for any injury caused by the dog, regardless of whether a bite occurred.

We will aggressively pursue your claim and seek to recover maximum compensation for your injuries. If you have suffered as the result of a dog bite or attack, do not wait to contact Weiss Law Office, S.C.

Injuries caused by dogs

One of the things to be most cautious about if you have been bit by a dog is the possibility of infection.

If the dog’s vaccination status cannot be confirmed, it may necessary for you to go through the process of getting rabies shots. Medical professionals may also start you on a course of antibiotics depending on the nature of the bite.

You may require stitches or sutures to close any wounds caused by a dog bite, and it is not uncommon to be left with permanent scarring following a dog bite. Talking with an experienced attorney can ensure you do not rush to present your claim until the full extent of your injuries is understood.

If you have been injured or attacked by a dog, do not delay in contacting one of our experienced personal injury attorneys.

The lawyers at Weiss Law Office, S.C., can help you understand how insurance policies may impact your recovery and can also investigate the loss, and make various open records requests if necessary, to determine if there is an opportunity to make a claim for additional damages based on the dog’s possible bite history.
