HAVE YOU BEEN INJURED FROM A DOG BITE?

Injuries caused from a dog bite or other dangerous animal sometimes result in serious life-threatening injuries. In many cases these animal attacks leave victims with critical injuries like permanent skin damage, lacerations, nerve damage, or even brain damage. The result of a serious injury may impact your overall physical health and affect the way you are able to live your life.

When a person owns a dangerous animal capable of attacking another human, laws require that the person maintain the animal so it is safe for the general public. The law imposes different standards of care depending on the type of animal. In many cases of animal attacks, someone has violated the law on the required standard of care and they may be held responsible for you or your loved ones injuries.

HIRING EXPERTS IN DOG BITE CASES

There are a lot of factors that make an dog bite or animal attack case complex and difficult to litigate. It is often appropriate to use expert witnesses whose knowledge and ability to communicate with a judge or jury about industry standards for maintenance, or the manner in which your attack occurred, that may make a difference in the outcome of your case. Expert witnesses frequently testify about:

• The nature of the dog or animal in question;
• Whether the animal’s owner violated other laws designed to protect you, (e.g. leash laws)
• Standards or customs of reasonable care;
• The chain of events leading to the animal attack;
• Factors that may have contributed to the animal attack, such as negligent supervision, knowledge of prior violence, or signs of abuse; or
• Recreation of an attack scene.

Expert witnesses may also be helpful in evaluating and explaining your injuries. Severe injuries may change your quality of life, your mobility, or the way you are able to complete tasks. Many animal attacks cause skin damage that requires extensive surgeries and may leave life-long damage. Experts such as neurologists, surgeons, economists, life-case planners, vocational rehab and physical therapists, are necessary in cases where you or a loved one has been severely injured. It is important that you choose an attorney with enough monetary resources to hire the necessary expert witnesses if you hope to obtain the maximum compensation for your injuries.
