Legal Support for Animal Attacks & Dog Bite Cases

Yes, if the animal's owner was negligent in controlling the animal, you may have a case for seeking compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and more. Lawfty's animal bite attorneys can assist you in determining liability.

Not every case goes to court. In fact, the majority of cases will settle prior to a lawsuit ever being filed. Nailing down the exact percent is difficult, but based on our data approximately 70% of cases will settle before a lawsuit is filed. Of the 30-40% that get filed in court, nearly all will settle before going to trial. People don't realize this, but less than 5% of cases actually go to trial. The actual percentages noted above will vary based on the state where your accident occurred and the firm that handles your case.

Not always. Liability depends on factors like the animal's history, the circumstances of the bite, and local laws. Lawfty's experienced legal team can evaluate your case and advise you on a better course of action.

Personal injury claims generally involve bodily harm to an individual caused by someone else's negligence. The most common types of claims are: Auto accidents, injuries sustained on someone else's property (premises liability/slip and falls), dog bites, medical malpractice, workman's compensation, injuries from faulty products, and assault.

In cases involving stray animals, liability can be more complex. Depending on the jurisdiction, you may still have options for seeking compensation. Lawfty's animal bite lawyers can help you navigate the legal landscape.

Seek medical attention immediately, even for seemingly minor bites. Gather information about the animal and its owner, if possible. Animal bite cases can involve medical bills, infections, and emotional distress. Lawfty's legal team can help you understand your rights.
