DOG BITE INCIDENTS
Dog Bites: Seeking Justice with The Parks Law Firm
Dog bites can be a terrifying and life-altering experience. The physical and emotional trauma can be significant, and the financial burden of medical bills can be overwhelming. If you’ve been injured in a dog bite incident, The Parks Law Firm is here to help. We are a team of dedicated and experienced personal injury attorneys committed to protecting your rights and maximizing your compensation.
We Work for You, Not the Dog Owner’s Insurance Company
In the aftermath of a dog bite, insurance companies are often more concerned with protecting their bottom line than ensuring you receive fair compensation. They may try to downplay the severity of your injuries or deny your claim altogether. At The Parks Law Firm, our loyalty lies solely with you. We will aggressively advocate for your best interests, gathering evidence, building a strong case, and negotiating aggressively to secure the compensation you deserve.
Maximizing Compensation for Your Dog Bite Injuries
Dog bites can cause a range of injuries, from puncture wounds and scarring to nerve damage and even rabies exposure. The financial impact of these injuries can be substantial. We will fight to recover compensation for:
- Medical Expenses: This includes past and future medical bills associated with treating your injuries, such as emergency room visits, doctor appointments, medications, physical therapy, and any reconstructive surgery that may be necessary.
- Lost Wages: If your injuries prevent you from working, we will fight to recover lost wages and potentially lost future earning capacity due to your injuries.
- Pain and Suffering: This includes compensation for physical and emotional pain caused by the dog bite, such as scarring, anxiety, fear of dogs, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
- Property Damage: If your clothing or other personal belongings were damaged in the dog bite incident, we will seek compensation for repairs or replacement.
We Start the Process from Day One
Time is crucial after a dog bite. Evidence can disappear quickly, and witness memories can become unreliable. Our legal team will take immediate action to:
- Gather Evidence: We will collect witness statements, medical records, and any photographs of the bite wound and the scene of the incident.
- Investigate the Dog’s History: We will investigate any prior bite incidents involving the dog and determine if the owner was aware of the dog’s aggressive tendencies.
- Determine Applicable Laws: Dog bite laws vary by state. We will thoroughly research the specific laws in your jurisdiction to build the strongest possible case.
- Handle Insurance Communication: We will handle all communication with the dog owner’s insurance company, ensuring they comply with all deadlines and requests for information.
Negotiating with Insurance Companies: We’re Prepared to Go to Trial
Insurance companies are known for offering lowball settlements. Our experienced attorneys have a proven track record of successful negotiations. We will meticulously analyze your case and present a compelling argument for the full compensation you deserve. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial and fight for your rights in court.

Understanding Damages and Compensation
The specific damages and compensation available in a dog bite case will depend on the unique circumstances of your situation. However, some common types of damages include those mentioned above.
