If you were bitten or attacked by a dog, you must pursue compensation to cover the cost of ongoing medical bills, lost wages, and other damages you incurred as a result of the attack. At the Hines Law Firm, a dog bite attorney can help you during this difficult time in several ways, including:
The one-bite rule states that the dog’s owner is liable for any damages the dog causes if the owner knew or should have known about the dog’s vicious nature. A dog is considered dangerous if it has a history of biting. When a dog attacks an animal or person, the dog’s owner can be held liable for any future damages the dog inflicts on others.
