Understanding the Risks of Animal Attacks

Over the last decade, the variety of animals people keep as pets has broadened. It’s no longer only a family dog or cat. Homeowners are now keeping exotic pets, such as snakes, alligators, and iguanas, as well as hamsters, birds, ferrets, and mice. This increase in variety is accompanied by an increase in the risk of rabies, a disease for which extensive preventative treatment is required in the form of numerous painful injections. Many animal bites also occur to the face or head of victims, oftentimes leaving serious physical and emotional scars that last a lifetime.

Dog bites are still by far the most common type of animal attack. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, about 4.7 million people are victims of dog bites each year, and most of them are children.

Georgia Laws on Animal Attacks and Compensation

Regardless of the type or breed involved, if you have been attacked by an animal or bitten by a dog, you may be able to recover compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering, and scarring.

Our experienced Valdosta dog bite lawyers will conduct a thorough investigation into the animal’s background to determine whether it has a history of aggressive behavior. If a dog bites, it is likely that the dog has bitten before. Also, our skilled animal attack attorneys are familiar with local city and county leash laws, fencing codes, and other ordinances that may have been violated by a careless pet owner.

In many cases, the pet owner’s home insurance policy provides coverage for injuries from a dog bite. However, insurance companies will often deny a claim when they should be paying it. This is why it’s very important to have a good lawyer in your corner.

Dog bite and animal attack victims in Lowndes, Tift, Cook, Bibb, and Houston Counties, and the surrounding areas turn to the Studstill Firm, LLP because we have nearly four decades of personal injury experience to draw from when helping animal attack victims.

    “Thank you Jennifer & Studstill lawfirm for helping me through this process.”
    Unexpectedly, I found myself in need of consulting with a law firm specializing in personal injury cases. While shopping in a certain beloved grocery store, which shall remain nameless, I had an accident. A banana of all things was my downfall. Being that I did not place the banana in question on the floor of the grocery store, it was my assumption I had a case for the injuries I sustained due to this slip & fall. Which was more like a slip & crash backwards because I surely took the banana display down with me. After leaving the hospital, I called 411 pain mostly because the radio keeps telling me to. This was all I could think to do, but they were not helpful & in fact, I felt very overwhelmed. So I turned to Google & searched for law firms. Studstill law firm caught my attention & I gave them a call. I was told to talk with Jennifer who could answer my questions. I must say, I really appreciate her patience & understanding because I do tend to ramble on a bit. She was professional & kind, never made me feel rushed. She did not even laugh when I told her what happened. I appreciate this because even the doctors & nurses at the hospital laughed at the cause of my injury. Thank you Jennifer & Studstill lawfirm for helping me through this process.
