The Benefits of Putting Our Cowpens Dog Bite Lawyers to Work on Your Case
Dog bite claims can be complicated for many reasons. For example, you must determine where to pursue financial recovery. Possible compensation avenues include the dog owner’s homeowners’ policy.
If the insurer disclaims due to lack of coverage or the dog’s breed, we could pursue a separate pet liability policy if one exists. We could also sue the dog owner directly. After identifying the appropriate avenue, our legal team will:
- Identify the dog owner’s negligence
- Investigate and compile evidence
- Explore the dog’s bite history
- Speak to lay and expert witnesses
- Negotiate a favorable monetary settlement
Our entire team believes in ongoing client communication, so we have a 24/7 helpline that allows you to get answers at your convenience. We will also represent you on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing upfront and nothing at all if you do not receive a financial award.

Our Cowpens Dog Bite Attorney will Clarify South Carolina’s Dog Bite Laws
S.C. Ann § 47-3-110 allows you to sue the owner of the dog that bit you if you did not provoke the dog. The law applies when you are in a public place like a dog park or lawfully at a private place, including the dog owner’s residence.
When our personal injury team represents you, we prove your claim meets these legal parameters. We also collect evidence that refutes any allegation you provoked or harassed the dog. Your case file will include police and animal control reports, witness statements, and expert testimony. We also collect the dog’s veterinarian records and canine breed expert reports.
Our Team will Build a Persuasive Collection of Evidence
Filing a comprehensive and effective insurance claim and lawsuit takes time, focus, and diligence. You do not have to manage all the details of building a compelling evidence file alone.
The case file we build for you will contain:
- Photos and video footage
- Vet and animal control reports
- Police reports and attachments
- Lay and expert witness statements
- Employment and salary history records

Financial Compensation for Dog Bite or Attack Victims in Cowpens, SC
After a dog bite or attack, you can request three types of damages. Every case will have a unique monetary value but will generally include:
- Economic damages: Past and future medical bills, lost income, lost future earning ability, and property damage, destruction, or diminishment.
- Noneconomic damages: Short- and long-term disability and disfigurement, physical pain and suffering, mental and emotional distress, and diminished quality of life.
- Punitive damages: Rarely awarded compensation intended to penalize a dog owner whose actions were intentional, grossly negligent, or egregious.
You could also recover wrongful death damages if your family lost a loved one in a biting incident. Our Cowpens wrongful death lawyer will pursue appropriate compensation on your behalf and clarify which family members can take legal action and receive compensation.
Act Quickly to Avoid Putting Your Personal Injury Claim in Jeopardy
According to S.C. Ann § 15-3-530, the South Carolina statute of limitations is generally three years for personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits. Filing your lawsuit on time is critical. It can also be confusing; for example, the statutory clock doesn’t start for an injured minor until they turn 18.
You could easily misapply the deadline on your own. Instead, let us handle this task for you. We will file your lawsuit on time and in the appropriate venue.
