Dog Bite

The Quad City dog bite lawyers at VanDerGinst Law, P.C. realize the agony of enduring an dog bite. Being assaulted by an animal that does not listen to logic or reason can be a cruel experience, especially if the animal in question is your own pet. Dog bites are one of the more common forms of animal-related injuries. The injuries resulting from a bite can range from a simple scratch, to contracting rabies, to a mauling of skin and muscle tissue requiring reconstructive surgery.

If the aggressive animal in question is the property of someone else, the owner is liable to compensate those whom it harms for the damages they endure, both emotionally and physically, after the dog bite. The animal may be destroyed and the owner will be tasked with compensating the victim for their medical costs as well as for any missed work or emotional trauma suffered after the attack.

Even a feral animal can warrant an dog bite lawsuit if the animal is on a property and the owner of the property has neglected to take precautions in order to secure the area from animal intruders. If you have been attacked by an animal, contact a Quad City dog bite lawyer to determine your legal options.
