Dog Bite Lawyer Bel Air, MD
Dog bites create notoriously bad wounds, with hard-to-suture edges that result in permanent scarring and disfigurement, and often nerve damage, too. You may have difficulty with your range of motion in the area you were bitten, making getting around harder. Then there’s the high risk of infection, the need for a painful tetanus shot, and the frightening risk of rabies. The physical damage of a dog bite alone can be severe; the psychological damage may be even worse. PTSD, especially if the attack was bad, and a new phobia of dogs that makes it hard to go outside or enjoy other activities can dramatically reduce your quality of life.
In Maryland, dog owners are liable for the harm that their animal causes and are responsible for paying damages to the victim of a dog attack. However, it can be difficult to get the fair compensation you’re entitled to. Dog owners may turn around and blame you for the attack, or pressure you into dropping your claim. However, it is your right, and you shouldn’t have to pay medical bills for an injury that an out-of-control dog causes.

We build the case for negligence against the dog’s owner, collect evidence to strengthen your claim, and negotiate with the other side for fair compensation. Should we be unable to get the money you need to cover your losses in mediation, we’re fully prepared to take the case to trial.
