When Man’s Best Friend Turns Vicious, Trust Our Spring Valley, NV Dog Bite Lawyer
Most dogs go their whole lives without biting or other aggressive behavior, but most is not all, and some dogs are prone to viciousness. We’ve all seen horrific news stories about dog mauling and wonder what kind of options victims of a dog attack have. In Nevada, dogs are considered property, and the owner of a dog is liable for any harm their animal causes. If a dog bit you or a loved one (including your pet), you have the right to file a civil suit against the owner for all your damages, including pain and suffering. Our Spring Valley, NV dog bite lawyer can explain the process in a free consultation.
Pursuing justice after being bitten by a dog can be tricky, and these cases have complications that other types of personal injury claims may not. The attorneys at CVBN Law LLP have five decades of personal injury litigation experience, and we’ve successfully settled many hotly contested dog bite cases. We work hard to support injured victims like you, so please call us today to discuss your case.
Why Work With A Dog Bite Attorney After An Attack?
One of the unique aspects of dog attack claims that other types of personal injury claims don’t generally have is a significant amount of victim-blaming. The dog’s owner is usually reluctant to believe that their beloved pet could have instigated the attack, even when it clearly did, and will attempt to blame the victim, especially when animal control gets involved.
Another complication in dog bite attacks is how serious and difficult to treat the injuries are. Edges of a dog bite wound are notoriously hard to suture, and the infection risk and risk of contracting rabies are high. If you face complications from your injuries, you could be out of work for weeks or longer. Many people develop crippling fears and phobias after being attacked by a dog, which can affect their quality of life. All of these, plus all necessary medical treatment, can be covered by your dog bite claim settlement. We want to help ensure that you are protected and fairly treated throughout the process.
As your legal advocate, we shield you from harassment from the other party. Feel free to refer any communications from the dog’s owner, their insurance company, and their lawyer to our firm. We handle every aspect of building the case of negligence against the dog’s owner, including subpoenaing the dog’s bite and violence history, interviewing witnesses, and reviewing any captured footage of the attack. Our case is based on solid evidence and insightful points of Nevada personal injury law.
Don’t let yourself be bullied into accepting a pittance of a settlement (or likely nothing!) from the owner of a vicious dog. Let our Spring Valley dog bite lawyer help you advocate for your rights and legal interests, including demanding a fair settlement of damages. Call CVBN Law LLP today for a free consultation.
