Frequently Asked Questions 

  • 1. What should I do immediately after a dog bite?

    Testimony from witnesses


    You need to find out the names, addresses, and phone numbers of any witnesses who witnessed the dog bite you and get their statements. These remarks can be used to help prove that the negligent party is liable to compensate you for your injuries and can also be used to dispute any defenses that the negligent party may raise in order to defend your claim.

  • 2. Can I sue the dog’s owner if they are my neighbor or friend?

    You have the right to sue someone for dog bite injuries if you were harmed as a result of the person's failure to control their dog and the dog bit you. In most cases, the pet owner's insurance policy will be responsible for paying your claim. In certain circumstances, such as when the incident occurred in a public location, the organization's public liability insurance can be used to pay for the claim.

  • 3. Will I have to go to court?

    When there is a possibility of infection, severe blood loss, or damage to the nerves, ligaments, and muscles, a dog bite is considered to be a serious injury. When a dog that has not been vaccinated bites someone, it is extremely dangerous since the dog could potentially spread disease.

  • 4. How long do I have to file a dog bite lawsuit in New York?

    A dog bite can cause substantial tissue damage, including to the muscles, tendons, bones, and nerves in the victim's body. A person who is bitten by a dog runs the risk of suffering from lasting nerve damage as a consequence of the incident.

  • 5. How much does it cost to hire your firm?

    There is no upfront cost. We work on a contingency fee basis—you don’t pay us unless we win your case.
