How Our Blacksburg Dog Bite Injury Lawyers will Build a Strong Claim for You
Part of our legal representation means dealing with the insurance company for you. In dog bite cases, that often starts with identifying the appropriate insurer, which may be:
- Homeowner’s or renter’s insurance
- A pet liability policy
We will also collect evidence to substantiate your claim, such as animal control and police reports, witness statements, photos, videos, and medical records.
How South Carolina Dog Bite Laws Describe the Dog Owner’s Financial Liability
S.C. Ann § 47-3-110 describes the state’s position on dog owner liability for an animal attack. Accordingly, if a dog bit you, its owner (or another person who was in charge of the dog at the time of the bite or attack) bears financial liability.
Find out how our Blacksburg dog bite injury attorneys can help you prove your case meets these legal parameters. We can also help you prove the bite was unprovoked since provocation could disqualify you from receiving compensation.
