Steps to Take Immediately After a Dog Bite
The most important step after a dog bite is to seek immediate medical attention. Dog bites can be extremely painful and may quickly lead to infection. Once medical help is on the way, gathering information about the dog and its owner is crucial for building a strong case. Without proper documentation, you may not receive the full compensation you deserve.
If you’ve suffered a dog bite injury, follow these steps to protect your rights:
- Get the name and address of the dog’s owner
- Obtain the dog owner’s insurance details
- Check the dog’s vaccination record
- Take photos of your wound immediately and in the following days
- Capture images of the attack location
- Collect witness testimonies and their contact information
What Can You Recover After a Dog Bite?
Since each case is unique, it is impossible to estimate the exact amount you may receive without our dog bite lawyers thoroughly reviewing the details of your specific claim. However, there are generally certain kinds of damages that most victims of vicious dog bites can pursue. You are not limited to claims for current medical bills. Any future expenses for rehabilitation, medicines, and both mental and physical therapy can also be recovered. Surgery for scarring can be very costly, so it’s important to include this in your claim. If you’ve lost wages from missed work or even lost a job that involves an active physical role you can’t perform due to your condition, it’s crucial to seek compensation for that as well.
The Importance of Calling Our Attorneys Following a Dog Bite
Although most dog owners have insurance, it’s essential to avoid talking with adjusters after a dog bite injury. While you should record their name, phone number, and address, never discuss your claim, potential settlement, or agree to a meeting without legal representation. Instead, get in touch with our experienced dog bite attorneys in Atlanta right away.
Insurance companies will do everything possible to reduce your compensation, often twisting your words to imply you were partly at fault. Our dedicated lawyers who handle dog bites will fight aggressively to ensure you get the full compensation you deserve. Contact us today for strong legal support!
