Dog Bite Accidents

If you have been injured by a dog that is owned by someone that is unrelated to you, you may be entitled to compensation. The laws in most jurisdictions are quite strict about the responsibilities of dog ownership and in most cases, unless you have provoked the dog in a significant way, you should be able to recover damages for your injuries.

You may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering (including an amount for any scarring which you may have), loss of income, medical and rehabilitation expenses, future loss of income, housekeeping expenses and other damages not specifically outlined here.

We also represent a large number of clients who have been denied benefits under either a group disability insurance policy or a private policy. These cases are usually heavily dependent on obtaining the necessary medical evidence to prove the disability in a way contemplated by the policy in question.

There are time limits to all claims and any delay in proceeding with your claim may be subject to a deadline so you should not delay in proceeding with your claim or obtaining legal advice to clarify these deadlines.
