You may not immediately think of dog bites or animal attacks as causing significant harm, yet in many cases, they can cause serious injuries requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation, injuries such as:

• Scarring and disfigurement
• Rabies
• Bacterial infections
• Broken bones
• Emotional injury

The pain and suffering that many people experience from a dog bite or animal attack may be the result of someone else’s negligence. You need to know your rights.

Under Michigan law:

If a dog bites a person, without provocation while the person is on public property, or lawfully on private property, including the property of the owner of the dog, the owner of the dog shall be liable for any damages suffered by the person bitten, regardless of the former viciousness of the dog or the owner’s knowledge of such viciousness.

All too often, children are the victims of dog bites, and the physical and emotional trauma they suffer afterward can be significant. Young or old, adult or child, you need a seasoned personal injury attorney who is committed to doing whatever it takes to obtain the compensation you deserve.
