Animal Attacks
      Pet owners have a duty to properly restrain and handle their dogs or other animals.  This may include ensuring the animal is on a leash when it is outside the home or that the dog is properly fenced onto the owners’ property.  When a dog is not leashed or not properly confined to the residence, serious injuries can occur.  Our dog bit attorneys are available to evaluate your case and assist in determining who is liable for the dog bite. 
      Many dogs in Las Vegas, such  as pit bulls and rottweillers are aggressive by nature and can seriously injure an individual.  These dogs can be extremely violent if not properly trained and handled.  The newspapers report numerous mauling incidents.  These are some of the most serious and heart-wrenching tales because they often involve infants, toddlers, or others unable to protect themselves.  A dog’s powerful jaws can rend flesh and inflict life-threatening wounds in a matter of seconds.  Many of these injuries produce severe scarring that never heals.
      Injured victims can hold dog owners legally responsible for a violent dog’s actions.  The most common legal claim is negligence – for failing to properly leash the dog or failing to properly train the dog.  In addition, if the dog attacks a “guest” in the owner’s home, the owner may be legally liable responsible as well.  Most comprehensive homeowner’s insurance policies provide insurance coverage for dog attacks.  Thus, if a pet owner’s dog attacks a person, that injury will typically trigger insurance coverage.  And most homeowners have insurance because it is paid by their mortgage holder through an escrow account, whether the homeowner knows this or not.  So unless the individual owns their home “free and clear” and has no mortgage, there should be insurance coverage for a dog bite or attack. 

      Our dog bite attorneys are able to evaluate your case and get you the maximum compensation for your injuries.  Dog bite victims may be entitled to significant financial compensation for their injuries.  Our dog bite attorneys will work hard to get you all the money you deserve.  You may receive money for your medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, future medical treatment, and a host of other reasons depending upon your case.  If you have suffered a dog bite, please contact our dog bite attorneys immediately so we may begin getting you the money you deserve.
