How a Dog Bite Lawyer on Our Team Can Assist with Your Case
We can help with every step of the legal process, from determining whether you have a valid dog bite case to seeking fair compensation from the dog’s owner. Here are some ways our dog bite lawyers serving Suffolk County can help:
Investigate the Incident
A personal injury lawyer with our firm will investigate the circumstances that led to the dog bite. We can determine whether the bite was justified, if the dog had a history of attacks, and the steps the owner failed to take to prevent the incident.
Your lawyer can gather evidence, including medical documentation of your injuries, your firsthand account of the incident, interviews with eyewitnesses, and more.
Estimate how Much Your Case is Worth
We can use evidence to determine how much your case is worth. This evidence may include receipts from medical treatments, anticipated future medical expenses, wage statements, and interviews with you, your friends, and your family.
Seek Compensation From the Dog’s Owner
A lawyer with our firm can file an insurance claim with the dog owner’s insurance provider and submit supporting documents. They can negotiate a settlement on your behalf.
Take Your Case to Trial
If we cannot reach a fair settlement, we will take legal action by filing a lawsuit to seek a court-awarded offer.
Your Lawyer Can Help You Abide By Legal Deadlines
If you want to recover damages from a dog bite incident, you must meet state-imposed deadlines, such as:
- CPLR § 214 gives personal injury victims three years to file a lawsuit.
- EPTL § 5-4.1 gives surviving family members two years to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
You have to file a lawsuit against the liable party before the statute of limitations ends, but there are some exceptions to these deadlines which could make your time to act even sooner. A lawyer from our firm can evaluate your case and let you know which deadlines apply.
