The experience of being attacked or bitten by a dog can be very frightening, especially for a child. If you or your child has sustained a serous injury from a dog bite, our lawyers will work to obtain the compensation you deserve.

Dog bite victims are often wary of filing a personal injury lawsuit because they are afraid the compensation will come out of the pocket of the dog's owner, who may be a friend or a relative. However, the homeowner’s insurance policy of the dog owner usually covers liability. Our New Jersey dog bite lawyers are skilled in obtaining maximum recovery for dog bite victims from insurance companies.

Homeowner's insurance can compensate a dog attack victim for the damages such as:

  • Medical bills for dog bite treatment
  • Plastic surgery
  • Lost wages
  • Emotional distress
  • Counseling services for child victims of dog bites
  • Permanent scars or disfigurement
  • Pain and suffering

Our Scotch Plains, New Jersey dog bite lawyers have extensive courtroom and negotiating experience to obtain the maximum compensation for dog bite injury cases. In a recent Union County case, our attorneys achieved a $300,000 dog bite recovery.

In New Jersey, dog bite lawyers do not need to show that a dog had a vicious propensity or prove that a dog was dangerous in the past. The owner of the dog is strictly liable, unless the animal was provoked.
