Dogs may be known as “man’s best friend,” but they can still act on instinct and cause serious harm. If you’ve been bitten or attacked, you’re likely facing painful injuries, overwhelming medical bills, and emotional trauma that can affect your quality of life. The good news is that dog owners are legally responsible for their pets, and you may be entitled to compensation.

Every dog bite case is different, and the settlement you receive depends on the specifics of your situation. However, navigating the legal process alone can be tough, and without proper representation, you may not recover the full amount you’re owed. That’s where we come in. At Morgan & Morgan, we fight for dog bite victims to get the compensation they deserve. If you believe your settlement offer is too low, we’re here to help you push back.

 

How Much Is Your Dog Bite Case Worth?

The value of your settlement will depend on the unique details of your case:

  • Medical Expenses: From doctor visits to surgeries, medical bills add up quickly. If you win your case, these costs can be covered in your settlement.
  • Lost Wages: A severe dog bite can prevent you from working. If your injury affects your ability to earn a living, you can seek compensation for your lost income.
  • Pain and Suffering: Dog bites often leave lasting emotional scars. You may be able to recover damages for the trauma and suffering you’ve experienced.
  • Disability Benefits: If the attack left you permanently disabled, your settlement may include compensation for the long-term impact on your life.

Insurance companies often try to minimize your compensation by making assumptions about your injuries. But your pain and experience are unique. You deserve a fair settlement that reflects the full scope of your damages, and we’re here to fight for that.
