Dog Bite or Animal Attack?
Tucson Dog Bite Lawyers Can Help
Man’s best friend or vicious killer? Dogs can be either, depending on numerous factors. However, dog owners should know the temperament of their pets and exert every effort to restrain them from harming other people or animals. People own various wilder species of animals that can inflict damage as well. When animal owners do not keep their dangerous animals from humans and an attack occurs, the law is clear: The owner is responsible. Only an experienced attorney can help you prove your case and recover maximum compensation for costly medical bills, lost wages and other expenses the attack caused. The Hameroff Law Firm, PC has years of experience helping victims of frightening and painful animals attacks, and Tucson dog bite attorney David Hameroff can offer the skilled legal support you need at this time.
When Animals Attack
Every year, dogs injure over 800,000 people severely enough to require medical attention, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The attacks cost homeowners insurance companies over $300 million annually. Certain breeds are more likely to attack than others are, and negligence on the part of owners only increases the chances that they will.
Your Rights
When an animal attacks, there are certain things you need to ask. Did the attack take place on the owner’s property? Was the animal in a public place and not on a leash when it attacked you or your pet? Details such as these are critical in animal attack cases, and Tucson animal bite lawyer David Hameroff knows what information is necessary to prove your case under Arizona law.
Arizona has relatively strict laws regarding dog bites. A dog owner is liable the first time his dog attacks (as opposed to some other states that only hold them accountable after the first attack).
