Recoverable Damages for Victims of Aggressive Dogs
Dog bites can cause complex injuries, and our firm will create a detailed record of your damages. Bite victims often experience several economic and non-economic damages, including:
- Pain and suffering: Being attacked by an aggressive dog is a traumatic experience. Both the attack and resulting injuries may cause you to suffer anxiety (particularly fear of dogs), depression, sleep problems, emotional distress, lost quality of life, and other types of pain and suffering.
- Medical expenses: You should receive all the medical care you need after the dog bite, and we will work to ensure the liable party pays for all your medical bills. A dog bite may require emergency transport, extensive wound care, antibiotics, surgeries, and hospitalization. You may also need extensive follow-up care to prevent infection and ensure proper healing.
- Professional damages: We will seek fair compensation for any lost income, diminished earning power, lost bonus opportunities, and other professional damages related to the dog bite in Marion.
- Scarring and disfigurement: If the aggressive dog left scars or inflicted other types of disfigurement, you should receive fair compensation. You may suffer loss of self-esteem and other problems specifically because of disfigurement.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that infection is a significant concern after a dog bite. We will monitor your recovery and account for any infection-related damages you suffer.
