Dog Bite Lawyer Kennesaw, GA
When man’s best friend turns vicious, the results can be catastrophic – even fatal. A dog bite injury can leave permanent scarring, both physically and emotionally. You may have a limited range of motion, depending on how deep the bite went, or develop a phobia of dogs. North Carolina law considers dogs property; therefore, the dog’s owner is liable for any harm their animal causes. But, dog bite claims can quickly get contentious, and many victims are left wondering what rights or options they have.
That’s where we come in. The attorneys at Johnson & Alday, LLC, represent people like you who have been mauled or bitten by someone else’s dog, fighting to ensure that you receive a proper settlement to cover your medical care, pain and suffering, and other trauma. We offer a free consultation with a Kennesaw, GA, dog bite lawyer – call us today to schedule yours!
How Can A Kennesaw Dog Bite Lawyer Help Me?
Dog bite attorneys represent victims of a dog mauling, bite, or attack. You may be seriously hurt and the incident, and require invasive, painful medical procedures, like surgery or even a rabies prevention treatment. Dog bites are notoriously hard to suture, and the damage may involve nerve or muscle damage and permanent scarring.
The emotional aftermath of being attacked by a dog may last even after the scars on your body fade. Many people are left with a lifelong phobia of dogs, PTSD, or depression over their post-accident disabilities or changed appearance. You may require months or even years of therapy as part of your recovery, and we fight for compensation that covers all your material and intangible losses, like pain and suffering.
Complexities In Dog Bite Cases
Don’t be surprised if you face victim-blaming or harassment after filing your dog bite injury claim. Although it’s usually the dog owner’s insurance company that will be paying the compensatory damages, the dog’s owner may be angry that you filed the suit to cover your medical bills or worried that the city or county may take action against the dog, like quarantine or other steps. Our legal team has extensive resources to help you if you are victim-blamed, and we’re prepared to take all necessary steps to protect you from further attacks.
You may be accused of threatening the dog or otherwise providing it and see backlash, especially if the owner is a neighbor or someone you know. Your lawyer can represent you in the entire process and communicate with the other party on your behalf. We shield you as we protect your rights in court so you can recover from your injuries in peace.
