Dog Bite & Pet Injury Lawyers
Dog bites can cause serious injuries — especially to children — plus scarring and infection risk that shows up later. In many states the dog's owner is strictly liable, meaning you do not have to prove the owner was careless. Homeowner's or renter's insurance usually pays these claims. The attorneys below handle dog bite and pet injury cases.

Common questions
What should I do after a dog bite?
Get medical care right away, report the bite to animal control, photograph the injuries, and get the owner's name and insurance information. Do not sign anything from an insurer first.
Who pays for a dog bite injury?
Usually the dog owner's homeowner's or renter's insurance. An attorney can identify the coverage and handle the claim.
Does it matter if the dog never bit anyone before?
In strict-liability states, no — the owner is responsible regardless. In other states, a known dangerous history strengthens the case but is not always required.
How do attorneys charge for dog bite cases?
Almost always on contingency: no upfront fee, paid from the recovery. Confirm terms in writing.
