When a dog attack occurs, it is not only the physical injuries and scarring that must be considered. Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome and other psychological and emotional effects that may not be readily apparent must be taken into consideration.
Whether the dog or animal in question was fenced or loose, leashed or unleashed, the animal's owner is responsible for the actions of his / her animal. It may a question of negligent security or failure to adequately warn passers-by regarding the presence of a dangerous dog. Or, it may be a case where a dangerous dog was running loose in the neighborhood. Whatever the circumstances, we can help get to the bottom of things and hold the owner responsible.

-
What should I do if involved in an accident?If you are injured in an automobile accident, you should seek immediate medical attention.

-
Who will take care of my medical bills?You are entitled to recover your reasonable and necessary medical expenses caused by the at fault driver. However, most insurance companies do not pay medical expenses as you treat. Medical expenses will be included in the final one time settlement.
