Unfortunately, dog bite injuries seem to be on the rise due to more and more dog owners failing to take appropriate steps to control their dogs while in public, and statistically children tend to be the majority of victims. Also, some dogs are considered inherently dangerous like Rottweilers and Pit Bulls due to the strength of their jaws.
The damages you are entitled to are any past and future medical bills, including any damages for future or past cosmetic surgery, loss wages, and of course general damages known as pain and suffering. We also have animal experts that will come in and testify as to dog behavior if needed, to express expert opinion on dog characteristics.
If you think you have a dangerous dog in the neighborhood, I tell my clients to do three things: 1. Talk to the kids in neighborhood; 2. Talk to your adult neighbors; and, 3. Talk to your postman, as he or she will be the best person to know which dogs are about to bite people.
At the Law Offices of Mark Blane, we have been handling dog bite injuries since 1999 and we do so on a contingency fee basis which means: if we take your case, work on your case, and we do not recover for you, then there is no fee for our legal services.

In our community, in case of dog bites, the owner must pay the hospitalization of the victim and also a fine. That's why people in our place seldom have dogs in their home.
