LAS VEGAS DOG BITE ATTORNEY

A dog bite case occurs when a claim or lawsuit is brought by the victim of a dog bite against the owner of the dog.  No one should have to live in fear of being attacked by a dog, but according to the American Veterinary Medical Association, over 4.5 million people in the United States suffer dog bites every year.  In a 2023 incident, a Las Vegas woman and her two dogs were attacked by two larger dogs who had not been kept under the control of their owner.  Dog bites can cause serious injuries leading to large medical bills, loss of work, permanent disfigurement, and psychological trauma.  When this happens, a victim may look to the dog owner for compensation.  

If you’ve been injured by a dog bite, you may be entitled to compensation for: 

• Medical bills
• Pain and suffering 
• Lost wages
• Emotional injuries

Dog bite incidents can vary in terms of severity, with victims suffering a broad range of injuries including: 

• Scarring and disfigurement
• Puncture wounds
• Fractures
• Nerve damage
• Tissue and muscle damage 
• Lacerations
• Infections
• Contusions and bruises
• Psychological and emotional injury
• Fatal injuries

Our dedicated personal injury attorneys have the knowledge and experience to navigate this complex area of law.  We have a proven track record for success in representing clients who have been attacked by dogs and are dedicated to helping them recover the compensation they deserve. 

Often, when a dog bites an individual, the owner will be held liable for the injuries caused if the dog has a history of aggression, including a prior biting incident.  The first time a dog bites serves to notify the dog owner that the dog may behave aggressively again in the future.  

In certain circumstances, a dog owner can be held responsible for injuries caused by the dog during its first biting incident.

Dog bite laws vary from state to state, and the highly skilled personal injury attorneys at Morgan & Morgan have the knowledge and experience to investigate the circumstances of your case and fight for your full and fair compensation.
