Dog Bites

Dogs have always been considered faithful companions and loyal friends. So when a dog turns and attacks or bites a human, it is even more shocking and upsetting. Every year, an estimated five million Americans are bitten or attacked by a dog. Dog bite victims typically suffer from grave injuries, such as deep scars, infection, disfigurement, lacerations, nerve damage, rabies, torn ligaments, emotional trauma, fractured bones, wounds, and even death. Furthermore, dog bite victims commonly face psychological distress, and may lose their affection toward dogs and other animals.

Under Wisconsin's Strict Liability Rule, dog owners are held liable if their dog attacks, injures, or kills another person. Unless the victim was trespassing or he/she provoked, instigated, or taunted the dog, the owner is legally responsible for all costs and damages associated with the attack. Furthermore, if the owner was aware that the dog had attacked in the past, he/she is required to pay double in damages. If you or your loved one has been attacked or bitten by a dog, you are entitled by law to financial compensation for your pain, suffering, emotional distress, medical treatments, medication, psychological counseling, and lost wages.

Dog bite injuries are serious, and may cause permanent, debilitating, or long-lasting damage. Most dog bite injuries require surgery, hospitalization, psychological care, and months of rehabilitation. Because of the severity of their injuries, dog bite victims usually become inundated with thousands of dollars worth of medical bills and expenses. At PKSD, we are dedicated to obtaining compensation for our clients, and making sure they can move forward with their lives after this traumatizing event.
