In addition to causing extensive physical and emotional injuries, being attacked by a dog can be expensive. Fortunately, you may be able to recover compensation by suing the dog’s owner in a personal injury lawsuit.
Our dog bite attorneys have helped people in similar situations secure fair compensation in Memphis dog bite cases. We apply our knowledge of local laws, practical skills, and experience to fight for compensation to help cover all your losses.
In Memphis, you can seek several types of damage recovery based on the injuries and other losses you suffered in the dog bite incident.
You can pursue recovery of all your medical expenses from the dog attack, including costs for an ambulance, hospital stay, medication, plastic surgery, and physical therapy.
You could seek to recoup the income you lost during your hospital stay and recuperation. If you can no longer work, you could also seek damages for future lost earning capacity.
Dog bites often cause excruciating physical pain and can lead to long-term suffering, which may be recoverable.
A dog attack can be terrifying, so you could pursue damages for the post-traumatic stress and anxiety that you experience.
Even after extensive plastic surgery, some people may still experience permanent scarring or face mobility limitations.
Our seasoned legal team could meet with you, your doctors, and your family to understand the full impact the dog attack has had on your life in order to help you seek fair compensation.
No two legal cases produce the same result, so it is impossible to predict the damages you might receive after a dog bite in Memphis. The potential value of your claim against the dog’s owner or any other potentially responsible third party depends on several factors.
If you suffer severe and long-lasting injuries, you may be able to recover substantially more damages than if you only have minor wounds without permanent scarring or other damage. If you sustained catastrophic or life-threatening complications, such as a brain injury from a fall after a dog pushed you, or permanent, disfiguring facial scarring, you could qualify for a larger amount.
Insurance availability can also affect your recovery of damages. Our attorneys could carefully review the available insurance policies to identify all avenues of recovery for you.
A critical factor in determining how much you can recover lies in the proof of your damages. Our seasoned lawyers could help you document all your losses from the attack. We could request clear documentation from your doctors linking your injuries to the dog attack and explaining their severity. While you recover, document your journey by writing down your feelings, the treatments you have explored, and the impact your injuries have on your life.
Our determined law office could help you fight for what is right.
A dog bite can force you to change how you live your life, as you might need to take time off work and undergo multiple medical procedures.
