What to do After a Dog Attack

When dogs attack people, they can cause serious injuries like concussions, lacerations, and nerve and tissue damage. Dogs can also carry dangerous infections like rabies, which is almost always fatal.

That is why your first priority after a dog attack is to seek medical treatment. The faster you seek treatment, the better your chances of making a full recovery from your injuries.

After being treated, you can greatly improve your chances of being compensated for your injuries by collecting certain information, including:

• Medical documentation and photos of your injuries
• Phone numbers and other contact information for the dog owner and any witnesses to the attack
• A copy of the police report on the incident
• Pictures of where the attack took place

Our Bluffton dog bite lawyers can also help you obtain these pieces of information. We have seen how severely people can be hurt in a dog attack and we know that dealing with serious injuries and gathering evidence is a lot to ask.

Our caring attorneys will do anything we can to help our clients build a rock-solid case.

Establishing Liability for a Dog Attack

In South Carolina, dog owners are held strictly liable for dog attacks unless they can show that the dog was provoked by the victim. Any of these actions could shift liability for a dog attack away from the owner and onto the victim:

• Hitting or kicking the dog
• Teasing the dog
• Getting into the dog’s face and yelling
• Trying to pull a toy or bone out of the dog’s mouth
• Stepping on a dog’s tail, intentionally or unintentionally

However, many dog attacks are caused by animals that were not on a leash or properly restrained by their owners or dogs that are known to be vicious or aggressive.  

Negotiating with Insurance Companies

Sometimes the dog owner’s insurance company will provide all of the compensation that you need to cover your medical treatment, lost wages and other expenses caused by the attack. However, sometimes dog owners do not have insurance or their insurance company tries to find a loophole to avoid paying fair compensation or any compensation at all.

That is why you need aggressive legal representation from a Bluffton dog bite lawyer. At The Nye Law Group, our skilled attorneys have successfully negotiated just compensation with many insurance companies. We know the tricks insurance companies use to avoid paying compensation and we know how to fight back.

Our Bluffton dog bite lawyers want you to have the compensation you need to help you recover physically, financially and emotionally. This can include compensation for:

• Prescription medications
• Loss of earning capacity
• Current and ongoing medical care
• Pain and suffering

• Temporary or permanent disability
• Damage to clothes
• Mental therapy to recover from the trauma of the attack

Call us at 855-856-4212 to find out what types of compensation you could be entitled.
