Our team then puts together the legal framework for your dog bite case so that you will be fairly compensated for all of your damages. We’re so sure you’ll want to move forward with our legal advice that we offer contingency fees. This means that you don’t pay us until we reach a settlement or a verdict at trial. And, if there is no recovery, you don’t owe us a dime.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), more than 4.5 million people each year are bitten by dogs and more than 800,000 of these injury cases require medical attention. Worse, during a recent 15-year period, canines killed up to 521 people altogether in the United States. While fatality occurrences are rare, a wrongful death from a dog attack can still happen, and when it does, the case deserves that every opportunity for justice be pursued.

More likely, though, you could be the victim of a dog bite at some point in your life, which is why it’s critical to know your rights before, during, and after an encounter with a dog.

Through our years of experience, our dog bite attorneys know what it takes to get the most out of your legal battle. We hold the at-fault party responsible for the damages to which you are entitled. This will depend upon a variety of factors including the severity of your injuries, the culpability of the dog owner, the county where you live, and more.

Let us help you secure maximum compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and more related to these common dog bite injuries:

• Lacerations and puncture wounds

• Scars and disfigurement

• Infections

• Bruising

• Broken bones

• Rabies

• Wrongful death

We support you through this challenging time by arranging any necessary treatment and documenting everything with meticulous detail to ensure your relevant medical records are included in your personal injury claim.

Victims of dog bites suffer more than just physical injuries that require medical treatment though. Some injuries cannot be seen and are, in turn, hard to put a price tag on, such as pain and suffering, post traumatic stress disorder, continued fear of dogs, and more. This is why you need the help of an experienced St. Louis personal injury lawyer to uncover damages you might not yet realize you can claim.

While you are taking care of your own health, we’re pushing forward on your behalf learning every detail that we can about the dog attack.

We record statements from witnesses, obtain animal control and police reports, interview neighbors to determine whether the dog has a history of aggressive behavior, and more. We leave no stone unturned and build a case to present to the negligent dog-owner and their team (lawyers, insurance company, etc.).

Using a system of mutual understanding that focuses on your total recovery—both body and mind—we help you get the care you need with adequate compensation to cover those expenses.

The sooner we get involved, the sooner we can gather the necessary evidence to prove that the owner of the dog is liable for damages.

Our investigations into why the dog attack occurred will, in turn, help you prove that you are a victim and are thus owed compensation under the law.

In the end, we won’t settle until you are 100% satisfied with the result and know that the compensation is up to your standards.
