Animal Bites or Attacks

In almost every case, dog bites – or bites from other animals kept as pets – are the result of owner negligence.

Whether the result of improper restraint or fencing, improper labeling of an area containing an animal, or animals who are off leash in public places, people are inadvertently bitten, often by animals who have never bitten anyone before.

If you’ve been bitten by a dog or other pet, do not admit fault or speak to the owner’s insurance company. Contact Avera & Smith immediately for guidance on how to determine culpability and get you the financial compensation you deserve.

Remember, the laws regarding dog bites vary widely depending upon the geographic location where the incident occurred, often varying by city and by county, so you will need experienced help in resolving your case. Call Avera & Smith to discuss our experience with animal bite cases.
