Dog Bite / Attack
We’re here to fight for you.
Getting bitten or attacked by a dog or other animal can be a traumatic and frightening experience that can result in a serious injury. Dog bites can cause deep wounds, produce muscle or nerve damage and possibly permanent scarring.
In cases of dog bites and dog attacks, the owner of the animal is fully responsible for the dog’s actions. If the dog owner has house insurance, the dog bite may be covered under their policy. Hooper Law will fight for you to facilitate recovery of the compensation you deserve, including damages for pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, out-of-pocket expenses for such items as treatment and prescription drugs, and loss of wages.
