Can You Sue for a Dog Bite in New York?

Yes, and you should use a dog bite attorney to help you.

Many people believe that dog bite cases are too insignificant for a lawyer to bother with. Not true. Whether we are negotiating a modest settlement or litigating a catastrophic case, all dog bite cases are important to us – big or small.  

Victims of dog bites are dealing with:

We understand that many victims of dog bites are relatives or friends of the dog’s owner. Victims are reluctant to pursue a dog bit claim for fear of negatively affecting relationships or finances. However, many times the incident is covered under the dog owner’s homeowner’s insurance company, or if you were bitten on someone else’s property, the property’s landlord or owner may be partially responsible.

When Should I Hire a Dog Bite Attorney?

As soon as you can after the incident.

Dog owners and insurance companies will predictably contact you soon after the incident. Expect a call from an agent or claims adjuster. They will ask you to provide a recorded statement. Do not do this until you have legal representation.

You may also be offered a quick lump-sum settlement. That money is not likely the fair value of your injuries. You want an attorney to help you recover for all your damages – past, present, and future pain and suffering, medical bills, and lost wages.
