Saginaw Dog Bite Lawyers

Dog Bite Lawsuit
Dog Bite Saginaw_Bay City_Midland
Our Saginaw dog bite lawyers represent victims of dog bites and animal attacks in cases throughout Michigan.  We represent a wide range of clients in these cases, including children, postal workers, and utility workers. 

Act Immediately After A Dog Bite Attack.
If possible, try to gather as much information as you can after the dog bite victim has received appropriate medical treatment.

Useful information can include:

  • The name of the Dog Owner
  • The name of the dog
  • The owner's address
  • Names and addresses of anyone who witnessed the dog bite incident
  • Descriptions and Pictures of the place where the attack took place
  • Medical report of the dog bite injury by the attending physician
DNA testing and a cast of the dog's mouth may be necessary to prove your case. Do not permit the dog to be destroyed until after testing and has been performed. This evidence will assist your Michigan dog bite lawyers and will get you the greatest settlement.


Michigan Dog Bite Laws
There are specific Michigan dog bite laws that apply to these cases.  Owners and keepers of dogs in Michigan are strictly liable for dog bites and attacks.  This means that the dog bite victim does not have to prove that the owner was negligent, only that he or she was bitten or attacked.  There are also strict Michigan leash laws that hold the dog owner liable if their unleashed dog bites or attacks an innocent person. 
Owners of dogs should know important information about their dog and things that they can do to prevent dog bites and attacks.

Saginaw Dog Bite Injuries Dog bites and dog attacks, especially when the victim is a child, can cause serious injuries, including:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Disfigurement resulting from scars
  • Infection
  • Bone fracture injury
  • Rabies
  • Nerve damage
In addition to the physical injuries, the consequences of an animal attack can include psychological damage, nightmares, medical expenses for plastic and reconstructive surgery, and lost income. People in certain careers where appearance is critical, such as modeling and acting, can have a promising career cut short due to a dog  attack.

Getting Compensated For Your Saginaw Dog Bite Injury
Our Saginaw dog bite lawyers have obtained significant settlements for our clients in Michigan dog bite injury cases.  Many times, the dog bite victim is a family member, friend, or neighbor of the owner of the dog and is reluctant to file a claim.  In most circumstances, the settlement is paid by the homeowner's insurance company for the owner or keeper of the dog.  If the dog is owned or kept by a business, the business insurance company pays the settlements.
