Help From a Dog Bite Lawyer
It’s important to know that a lawyer can help you with a dog bite/attack incident. Many people forget just how impactful a lawyer’s presence and advice can be when trying to pursue compensation from an at-fault party. We can walk you through the legal process, handle paperwork, and negotiate a settlement for your behalf. If a dog has bitten you, you could be owed compensation. But you have to be informed about what the next steps are in order to take them. That’s where a Gaithersburg dog bite lawyer can intervene. Once we know more about the situation, we can suggest the best next course of action. Filing a dog bite case against someone else involves paperwork that may be confusing to figure out on your own. Filing documents in court, asking for evidence from third parties, and other tasks can feel overwhelming, especially when you are nursing a serious injury. You can trust that our team will look out for your best interests and work to secure you a settlement that covers your medical bills, monetary loss, and pain and suffering.
What To Do After an Attack
If you are bitten by a dog, the first thing you must do is get medical attention and locate the owner. Depending on the circumstances of the bite, you may or may not have the owner’s information. If the dog was loose and you don’t know who the owner is, report it to your local animal control office. If the owner is present, then take down their contact information, seek immediate medical help, and call the authorities. Filing a police report can be helpful to create a paper trail for your case. A negligent owner has to be stopped from their animal causing injuries to other people in the future. Take pictures of your injuries at their worst and obtain video footage if there was a camera that captured the attack. Don’t hesitate to reach out to our team at Antezana & Antezana, LLC for further support. We can imagine you may be in pain, worried about how your finances will be impacted, among other concerns.
