Dog Bite Victims May Be Eligible for Compensation
Dog bites are far too common. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured from a dog bite, consider filing a claim for your injuries with the help of a personal injury lawyer at Berger and Green.
Immediately following a dog bite, check if you have severe wounds, and seek appropriate medical attention as soon as possible. While going to the hospital or doctor might not seem ideal at first for treatment for a dog bite, medical documentation and medical bills can actually be used in your favor as proof when you file a dog bite claim.
It is important that you collect contact information from the dog owner. This can include their name, phone number, and address. You will also need to document the type of dog that bit you. If possible, reach out to the dog owner to receive the dog license information. You may also have to receive the dog owner’s insurance information.
Once you have collected all of this information, it is time for you to consider the evidence you can use with your personal injury lawyer to prove liability and fault in a Baldwin dog bite claim. The evidence you can use can include any photos of your injuries or of the dog, or even possibly a video that captures the attack on camera. If there were witnesses nearby when the attack took place, Berger and Green might be able to help you gather statements from them after you have gathered their contact information.
The key step in the entire process following a dog bite is to consult with a personal injury lawyer. You do not want to risk losing a fair settlement offer from the liable party by accepting money from an insurance company too early. Berger and Green can help you build a case with solid evidence against the negligent dog owner to help you fully recover from your injuries with the money you deserve.
