The Size of the Dog Does Not Matter

Some people believe that the size of the dog plays a role in the case. Yes, many dog attacks involve Doberman pinschers, Rottweilers, pit bulls and other large dogs that are typically considered dangerous. However, all dog owners are responsible for preventing their pets from causing harm, even the owners of small dogs that are not traditionally considered dangerous. These dogs can cause severe harm too, particularly if the victim of the dog bite is a child.

Representation for Children Injured in Dog Attacks

Dog attack victims are often children. The age of the victim does play a role in these cases, because children are more likely to suffer psychological and emotional harm. Furthermore, children are more likely to be bitten or scratched on the face, and may be left with visible scars that never completely go away, even after scar revision surgery. When we pursue compensation, we take all of these factors into account. We work hard to make certain that your child gets full and fair compensation after a dog attack.
