Recovering Compensation for Victims of Dog Bite Attacks
Dogs that are prone to aggression due to breed type or improper training may be more apt to bite someone with whom they are unfamiliar, or if they feel threatened. If you or your child sustained serious physical injury as a result of an attack by a dog or other animal, you may be entitled to compensation.
The lawyers of Graves Richard Harris LLP can help you assess your claims to determine all your available options for recovery. We will serve as your advocate for seeking maximum compensation for your physical injuries and emotional distress. With offices in St. Catharines and Kitchener, we represent clients throughout southwestern Ontario who have been the victims of dog bites or other animal attacks.
Dog Bite Injuries Cause More Than Physical Pain
An animal attack can cause significant damage, both physically and mentally. From minor cuts or bruises to severe lacerations, the effects of a dog bite injury can be long-lasting. More serious cases may result in permanent scarring or disfigurement. Beyond physical injuries, dog bites or attacks may also cause emotional distress or long-suffering anxiety, especially in small children.
All of these injuries should be taken into account when pursuing compensation. Under Ontario personal injury law, the owner of an animal is liable for injuries caused by that animal. Obtaining compensation for your pain and suffering, however, can be complicated without an experienced lawyer.
At Graves Richard Harris, we understand that each case is unique. When you meet with one of our personal injury lawyers, we will assess your injuries and help you obtain all the accident benefits to which you may be entitled.
