Have you or a loved one suffered a dog bite?
Many young victims are affected emotionally. Many kids no longer feel comfortable around dogs. Many lawyers overlook the substantial affects of this on young children. If necessary we will retain a child psychiatrist to aid the child in coping with his or her fears. In dealing with young victims we often suggest the parents structure the settlement proceeds to maximize the recovery. Most settlements for children under 18 are placed in blocked accounts. We find these unacceptable for young children. We will explore every option available with the parents prior to making any decisions. |
Dog
bite cases generally deal with injuries of the flesh. Most cases we
have seen involve bites to young children. It is extremely important
to obtain photographs early. As time goes on we will take periodic photographs
to evidence the healing process and the affects of scarring. 
We
always send our clients to be evaluated by a professional Plastic Surgeon.
A Professional Plastic Surgeon can provide our office with opinions
relating to the injury, the need for future scar revision and prognosis
for future medical care.
