Dog and Animal Bites Attorney - Blake Law Firm

Animal and Dog Bites
Every year, thousands of Americans are bitten by animals -- most often dogs. In many cases, a person bitten by an animal may have a legal right to recover damages from the animal's owner or another responsible party. The majority of dog bite victims are children.

If a dog bites you, you should seek medical attention and advice regarding rabies treatment. If you are not treated, a dog bite can cause serious injury or infection. You should contact your local animal control board and report the incident. Animal control officers may be able to locate the dog and determine its rabies vaccination status.

You should then consider consulting an attorney who has experience in animal and dog bite cases. An attorney will be able to tell you whether you have a legal claim, and what damages you may be able to recover. A qualified personal injury lawyer can help you receive fair compensation for your physical injury, loss of wages, future medical costs, and all other associated expenses should your case qualify.

Most lawyers in Arizona use a one year statute of limitations, instead of two years, for dog bite cases, so be aware of this shortened time frame if you have a claim.
