Injuries in Doylestown Dog Bite Cases

Dog bites can leave victims with severe injuries including:

Broken bones
Spinal injuries
Facial scars
Rabies
Permanent scars
Puncture wounds
Nerve damage
Infections

Additionally, many victims experience emotional effects. They may be fearful around dogs and may have anxiety when visiting places where a dog will be present. Each case is different, meaning the outcome will also differ.

A dog bite can occur in many different situations. For example, it can happen while you are visiting with a friend on their property or while you’re walking down the street. Pennsylvania dog bite law is complex, but our Doylestown dog bite lawyer can help you recover the compensation you need.

Our team of Doylestown personal injury lawyers is familiar with the physical and emotional consequences of dog bites, and we are here to help you.

Handling A Dog Bite

It can be overwhelming to take action after a dog bite. However, it is important to take the following steps:

Seek medical care: Your health is our first priority. It is best to seek medical care immediately after suffering a dog bite. Even if the bite does not appear serious initially, it can get much worse quickly. If the dog is not current on its shots, rabies is also a possibility.
Document the process: You should document the event. We need to demonstrate where the dog bite took place as well as show evidence of the damages.
Report the dog bite: By reporting the bite, officials can check the dog’s rabies shot history and if there are any previous reports of animal attacks. We can also have the dog listed as a dangerous dog.

Completing these steps is not only important in preventing the dog from biting another person, but it is also vital to building your case.

It is also necessary to complete these steps in a timely manner. Pennsylvania requires us to file all dog bite cases within two years of the date of the bite. Failing to file within the time period can make you ineligible for compensation, regardless of the details of your case. Begin this process as soon as possible by calling a member of our team today at 215-642-8841.

How We Can Assist You With Your Dog Bite Case

Our Doylestown dog bite lawyers are familiar with Pennsylvania’s laws as they pertain to dog bite cases and we fight to get the compensation for your injuries in the following ways:

Complimentary Consultation

Scheduling a free and confidential consultation is the first step. It allows us to better understand the details of your dog bite case and determine the best steps to take going forward.

Investigate

We work hard to investigate the details of your case. Whether the dog’s owner, a dog walker, or a property owner is to blame, we uncover the details of what happened and the factors leading to your life-changing injuries.

Seek Compensation

We know dog bite cases can come with significant financial consequences. We will work to get you the compensation you deserve. Depending on where the dog bite took place, we may seek compensation through the dog owner’s homeowner’s insurance. It is also possible that a settlement is a part of your case.

There are some costs that might exceed insurance coverage, such as pain and suffering or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We work to get the following costs covered:

Medical expenses
Lost wages
Diminished earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Counseling services
Plastic surgery procedures
Disability
Loss of benefits

The dog’s owner may attempt to place some of the blame on you. Fortunately, due to Pennsylvania’s comparative negligence law, we can still seek compensation for any percentage of the injury that is not your fault. By investigating the details of the case, we can determine the negligence of the dog’s owner.

Suffering a dog bite can leave you with expensive and life-changing injuries. In most cases, a dog bite occurs because the owner did not take appropriate steps to restrain the dog or notify visitors. If you are dealing with injuries resulting from a negligent dog owner, we will fight to get you the justice you deserve.

We also assist you in reporting the dog bite, so other adults and children do not become a victim to the dog’s dangerous actions. Call to see how a Doylestown dog bite attorney can help you: 215-642-8841.

Testimonials

I highly recommend the Cordisco & Saile law office. I had the pleasure to work with Michael Saile Jr. and his team over the last 4 years. Michael is the absolute best and never stopped fighting for me to ensure I receive a fair settlement. The entire team is fantastic. From Barbara, Michelle, and Joann, to finally working directly with Michael Saile, the Cordisco & Saile team provided first class support to us from start to finish.

As someone who has never had to contact an Attorneys office I can 100% say Barb made me feel comfortable, validated and cared for right off the bat. Her guidance and demeanor has been so welcoming and she has made me feel so comfortable with beginning this process. I am very new to this but I feel very genuinely well taken care of from people that WANT to help!

The staff at C&S LLC made me feel comfortable right away. I knew this was a group that had my best interest in mind. There’s a sense of security with them. In my case, the details needed immediate attention. They did not fail to meet that need. They kept me informed of everything that was happening. They were also easy to contact, and I received prompt & immediate replies. I can say this group was nothing less than stellar. I appreciate their help and fighting as hard as they did to get me the best settlement.
