Dogs are wonderful and common addition to many individual’s and families’ lives.  However, even well trained and friendly dogs can attack victims out of the blue, shocking both the owner and the victim, causing serious injury.  The owner of the dog has a responsibility for their actions and any injuries the animal may cause. The legal rights of a dog bite victim vary from state to state. Sometimes a victim may even be able to receive compensation from a landlord, or the like, who might be liable for permitting someone with an aggressive dog onto the premises.

In dog bite cases, compensation may come from a person who violated a leash law; a person who kept a dog despite knowledge that the dog had a history of attacking; or a person whose negligence resulted in the attack.

Regardless of the case and the situation, if you have been attacked or find yourself attacked by an animal you should contact an injury attorney. Let the experience of Attorney John T. Grove guide you through the complex process and help you receive the compensation you deserve.
