St. Louis Dog Bite Attorney

Filing a Dog Bite Lawsuit

Those who own dogs have a duty under state law to protect others from a dangerous attack from a vicious dog. When a dog owner has failed to train his or her animal correctly, or has allowed it to roam outside its enclosed area, children and adults can face serious injuries if attached. Dog bite injuries can be very severe, resulting in permanent scarring, serious infections, torn muscles and skin, and even fatalities. Children are often the victims in serious dog bite injury cases, as their height makes their head and neck more easily accessed by a vicious animal.

Injuries sustained from a dog attack can vary widely, from scratches and lacerations, to punctures and tragic deaths. Suffering a dog bite is a traumatic experience, and victims of this type of animal attack should contact our firm to discuss filing a claim against the dog's owner. If you or someone you love has been the victim of a dog bite injury, talk to a St. Louis personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your case and the steps toward seeking maximum compensation.
