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.
