Dog Bite Attorney in Paducah

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the typical injuries and diseases associated with dog attacks may include:

• Lacerations;
• Bleeding;
• Nerve damage;
• Broken bones;
• Scarring;
• Rabies infection;
• Pasteurella infection
• MRSA infection; and
• Tetanus infection.

Up to 18 percent of dog bites become infected with bacteria, according to the CDC. Rabies, although rare, is a serious disease and is fatal if not treated immediately.

Our attorneys will work with victims of dog attacks to prove liability on the part of the dog owner and support your claim. This may include:

• Gathering information about the time, location, and nature of the attack;
• Investigating previous dangerous behavior from the dog;
• Proving the dog was intact (not spayed/neutered);
• Collecting evidence of the attack, including photographs of the injuries;
• Researching the dog’s previous vaccinations, including whether they have been vaccinated for rabies; and
• Proving the owner let the dog roam free off of private property.

Our Paducah dog bite attorneys at Morgan & Morgan work on a contingency-fee basis with no upfront cost. That means that you only pay a fee if your attorney successfully recovers compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering, and more.

If you or someone you love is the victim of a serious dog bit, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, loss of wages, property damage, and more.
