Dog Bites And Animal Attacks

Every year millions of people are injured in animal attacks. Often lay persons try to handle their injury claim themselves. Unfortunately, that sometimes invites disaster. Insurance claims can be overwhelming as injury victims may face lost wages, mounting medical bills, and other out of pocket expenses. Insurance companies have experienced adjusters and attorneys looking out for them. An injury victim should have someone to look out for him or her as well. A qualified animal attack attorney can make sure the proper investigation is completed, the insurance benefits are coordinated and that you, as the accident victim, are properly compensated.

Many states allow those who have suffered personal injury to recover damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability, disfigurement, wrongful death, scarring, loss of opportunity to enjoy life, interference with marital and/or parental relationships, and other types of general damages. In addition, injury victims may be entitled to recover for "special" or "economic" damages related to items such as past, present and future medical bills, lost wages and future earnings, and other out-of-pocket expenses.

Our dog bite attorneys offer you a free evaluation of your potential claim. Important evidence can go stale or be lost without immediate action on the part of the victim or someone acting on their behalf, so don't delay. It costs nothing to find out about your rights.

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury or death as the result of a dog bite or animal attack, call VanDerGinst Law at 1-866-843-7367 or click here for a FREE online case evaluation. The initial consultation is free of charge. If we agree to handle your injury case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if, and when, there is a money recovery for you. In many cases a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. So please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
