Our Glen Cove Dog Attack Lawyers Will Manage Your Entire Case

The idea of trying to handle a personal injury claim or lawsuit on top of dealing with your regular responsibilities and healing from a bite wound might sound intimidating. Do not let that deter you from fighting for justice: we are here to support you throughout your case. Here is how we assist personal injury clients:

We Stay in Touch With Dog Bite Clients

By maintaining frequent communication with our clients, we keep you updated about what is happening and give you plenty of opportunities to ask questions about your case.

We Identify Who Is Liable for the Dog Attack

The liable party is generally the dog’s owner, but we take nothing for granted as we want to be certain that every legally liable party is held accountable for all the damages you have suffered. Your attorney will investigate carefully before drawing any conclusions.

We Communicate With Others Involved in Your Dog Bite Case

The at-fault party and their representatives might deny liability, downplay your injuries, or even try to blame you for the attack. By letting your legal representative do the talking, you protect yourself against any unjust or manipulative communications.

We Collect Evidence to Strengthen Your Legal Action

While your testimony is very important, that alone is generally not enough to win a claim or lawsuit. Our personal injury attorneys will collect additional evidence, including photos or video footage, witness statements, any previous complaints made about the dog, and your medical records.

We Determine Your Dog Bite Case’s Financial Value

Unfortunately, insurance companies often try to pay dog bite victims less than they are entitled to. Your Glen Cove dog bite lawyer will calculate how much you should ask for in damages—and we work to pursue the full compensation you are entitled to. Hiring a lawyer after a dog bite takes the burden of a legal action off your shoulders. Call Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., now. The sooner you begin your case, the more we might be able to do for you.

How Financial Compensation Allows You To Move Forward After a Dog Attack

You accomplish two important goals by recovering compensation from the at-fault party. First, you secure the money your family needs to pay for accident-related losses, including but not limited to:

• Medical bills
• Loss of wages and benefits
• Loss of earning capacity or employment opportunities
• Out-of-pocket expenses
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of independence
• Diminished quality of life
• Scarring and disfigurement

These types of damages give you a firm financial footing so you can better manage the financial impact of your injuries and recovery. For as long as the injuries continue to affect your life, you will have the money to support yourself and your family. Second, your legal action ensures that justice is done after a preventable animal attack. The liable party will be made to pay for the damage they inflicted, and other dog owners in the community will see that there are consequences for not fulfilling all of their legal responsibilities.

What to Do After a Dog Attack in Glen Cove

Dog bites can result in severe injuries and even become infected, so the first thing to do after any attack is to see a doctor. You might choose to go to an ER like the one at Glen Cove Hospital or, in less serious cases, to an urgent care center or your own doctor. The important thing is to receive treatment promptly. You could also, if your injuries permit, start collecting evidence to prove how the attack happened. You might be able to ask the dog’s owner (if they are nearby) and witnesses for their contact information. You could also take photos of your injuries and of the place where the attack occurred. Finally, once you are medically stable, it is best to start exploring your legal options as soon as possible. Our dog bite lawyers serving Glen Cove will listen to your story and walk you through all available options.

Laws That Could Affect Your Dog Bite Case

Under state law, you must report an animal attack to the local police or to animal control. If the dog is declared dangerous, the judge in the case may order the dog to be restrained, confined, or euthanized, depending on how much damage the dog inflicted. Filing such a complaint could both strengthen your own legal action and make your community safer by ensuring that a dangerous dog is no longer permitted to interact with the public without proper restraints. There could also be local laws that affect your case. Leash laws, for example, might differ slightly from one community to the next. You will want to partner with a lawyer who understands local laws and how to apply them to your case. Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., knows just how to do this.
