Steps to Take Immediately After a Dog Bite
The most important step after a dog bite is to seek immediate medical attention. Dog bites can be extremely painful and may quickly lead to infection. Once medical help is on the way, gathering information about the dog and its owner is crucial for building a strong case. Without proper documentation, you may not receive the full compensation you deserve.
If you’ve suffered a dog bite injury, follow these steps to protect your rights:
- Get the name and address of the dog’s owner
- Obtain the dog owner’s insurance details
- Check the dog’s vaccination record
- Take photos of your wound immediately and in the following days
- Capture images of the attack location
- Collect witness testimonies and their contact information
What Can You Recover After a Dog Bite?
Because every case is different, it is impossible to predict the exact figure you will be able to obtain without our lawyers carefully analyzing the details of your individual claim. However, there are generally certain kinds of damages that most victims of vicious dog bites are able to seek. You are not limited to claims for current medical bills — any future costs incurred for rehabilitation, medicines, and therapeutic treatment, both mental and physical, can be recovered too. Surgery for scarring can cost an exorbitant amount, so it is important to include this in a claim as well. If you have lost wages from missed work, or even lost a job which requires an active physical role that you cannot sustain in your condition, it is important to claim for this.
The Importance of Calling Our Attorneys Following a Dog Bite
Although most dog owners have insurance, it’s crucial to avoid speaking with adjusters after suffering a dog bite injury. While you should take down their name, phone number, and address, never discuss your claim or potential settlement or agree to a meeting without legal representation.
Instead, contact our experienced dog bite accident lawyer at Fry | Goehring immediately. Insurance companies will do everything possible to minimize your compensation, often twisting your words to suggest you were partially at fault. Our dedicated lawyers in Atlanta will fight aggressively to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve. Reach out today for strong legal advocacy!
