Why Choose Our Woodruff Dog Bite Attorneys to Manage Your Injury Claim?
You are not required to hire a lawyer to seek financial compensation for a dog bite or attack. However, taking on the insurance company without a lawyer can potentially be trying, frustrating, and risky. When you choose our personal injury law firm, you—and your case—will receive:
- Sound legal advice
- Clarity on dog bite, personal injury, and insurance laws
- Legal and investigative support building a strong case
- Legal representation during the settlement negotiation phase
Your Woodruff dog bite attorney will also manage complex insurance matters. We usually file a claim with the owner’s homeowners’ policy. If they disclaim coverage (typically due to the dog’s breed), we may pursue a separate pet liability policy or sue the owner directly.
Personal injury claims rarely go to court. However, if we cannot reach an acceptable settlement agreement, we will not hesitate to take your case to court to keep fighting for compensation.

How Our Woodruff Dog Bite Injury Lawyers Navigate South Carolina Dog Bite Laws
You can often get compensation for the physical and emotional costs of a biting incident from the owner of the dog in question. According to S.C. Ann § 47-3-110, the dog’s owner is liable if any of the following apply:
- You were lawfully in a public or private location
- You did not provoke or harass the dog
- The dog was not a law enforcement canine
If you or your loved one were the victim of an unprovoked dog bite, you could be entitled to compensation. Find out how our Woodruff dog bite injury attorneys can help you during a free initial consultation. Contact Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC, to explore your compensation options now.
