Dog Bites

Understanding the claim

Dog bites and other animal-related injuries can leave physical injuries, scarring, and emotional distress. Whether an owner or another person is legally responsible depends on the facts and applicable law, including the circumstances of the attack and the handling of the animal.

How Mortimer Injury Law can help

Mortimer Injury Law works to collect, preserve, and evaluate incident and animal-control reports, photographs, witness information, and treatment records.

Mortimer Injury Law is willing to take cases to trial. We pursue fair settlements, but when the other side will not offer appropriate compensation, we are prepared to present your case in court. Sometimes trial is the only way to pursue the justice and full compensation available under the law. We explain the options and work with you to decide the right path for your case.
