Dog Bite Lawyers
Pet ownership can be a tremendously rewarding and relaxing experience. Owners who put in the time and effort necessary to properly train their dogs will have a loving, loyal companion and a true friend.
However, the sad reality is that many owners do not put in this effort. Dogs attack innocent people for a variety of impossible-to-comprehend reasons, and the resulting injuries can be significant. According to a study from the Center for Disease Control (CDC), approximately 4.5 million dog bites occur in the United States each year, with 800,000 of those bites resulting in the need for medical care.
When you have been bitten by a dog that is not your own, you have the right to expect that the owner’s dog will pay for the injuries you have suffered. At The Cochran Firm, our personal injury lawyers are equipped to help if you’ve suffered a dog bite. We’ll treat your attack with the seriousness it demands. Our personal injury attorneys have years of experience representing innocent victims, and we can help you pursue the justice and compensation you deserve.
If you or someone you know has been the victim of a dog bite attack and would like to speak to a personal injury attorney, please contact The Cochran Firm today for a free, no-obligation consultation.
Why You Should Speak to a Dog Bite Lawyer
At The Cochran Firm, we’re familiar with the psychology of the victims of these attacks. Many dog bite victims are reluctant to pursue legal action for fear of appearing litigious or even “silly;” popular culture often heaps scorn on people who speak to a personal injury lawyer after these incidents.
It’s important, however, to stand up for your rights and speak to a personal injury lawyer. The Cochran Firm can take the burden off your shoulders and fight for you.
Dog Bite Lawyers
Our experienced dog bite lawyers can help by:
- Evaluating your case at a free initial consultation. This discussion does not cost you anything and comes with no obligation.
- Investigating the attack, including the dog’s history. Many dogs have a proclivity toward unprovoked bites, and we can discover that information during our investigation.
Pursuing compensation on your behalf
Laws regarding dog bites can vary from state to state. No matter where you live, our personal injury lawyers will be familiar with the relevant statutes in your state and can help ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
Compensation We Can Pursue
Dog bite injuries can range in severity from mild to life-threatening, and the compensation available to you will be a reflection of the unique circumstances of your case. Generally speaking, our personal injury lawyers can pursue compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
No personal injury attorney can promise you a successful outcome. However, The Cochran Firm has a proven track record of passionate advocacy on behalf of our clients.
