Animal Attack IF YOU WERE INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT, OUR LEGAL TEAM IS HERE TO HELP.

Valdosta Animal Attack Attorneys

Compassionate Counsel from the Studstill Firm, LLP

When an animal attacks, the injuries can be very serious. Animal bite injuries typically involve deep bite wounds caused by powerful jaws and teeth. Injury victims may require several surgeries, including reconstructive surgery, to repair the damage. Infection is also often a problem.

More Than Just Dog Bites

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 Pet Laws Provide 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.

    “From the beginning I have been treated as a member of the “family.””
    I have known and worked with the staff at the Studstill Firm for many years. From the beginning I have been treated as a member of the “family.” They have gone out of their way to assist me in my business dealings. There’s not a finer bunch than the Studstill Firm. I highly recommend them!
    - Jenny
    “I can’t emphasize how satisfied I am, my experience with you is by far the best!”
    I can’t emphasize how satisfied I am with how you handled my case throughout; and it has nothing to do with the fact that you earned me a favorable settlement. Honestly the amount of the settlement mean little compared to the quality of service I received. I’ve dealt with lawyers in the past and my experience with you is by far the best! What makes it the best is: You communicated EVERYTHING clearly from beginning to end (no surprises) Your response time was ALWAYS fast Your staff is professional and thorough You applied yourself diligently to make SURE I was protected by law and that I received EVERYTHING I was entitled to by law You NEVER made me feel pressured to make a decision or do anything I didn’t feel comfortable with Overall and throughout the process, I felt as if you cared more about ME as a client than about making money. I just felt as if I had a “good person” working on my behalf.
    - Daryl
