Physical pain isn’t the only result of a dog bite. On top of the need for stitches, or reconstructive surgery in some cases, there’s also a good chance you will experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This condition may lead to a long-term fear of dogs, and in today’s world where dogs are prevalent in many environments, our Hollywood, FL dog bite lawyer understands this can be crippling. Your mental, physical, and emotional well-being is a top priority of our team at Loshak Law PLLC, and we strive to secure sufficient compensation for your case.
The Nitty Gritty Of Dog Bite Cases & How Our Lawyer Can Help
Following the shock of a dog bite, you or your loved one may be at a loss of what to do next. A part of you may want to brush it off, but it is important you report the incident. An important detail to note is that if a dog bit you out of being taunted, there is a high likelihood that the owner won’t be held liable. Similarly, if you were trespassing on the owner’s property, they wouldn’t typically be responsible for any injuries.
Building a solid case will need to involve various forms of evidence such as medical records, photo and/or video evidence of injuries, testimonies from any witnesses, relevant information about the dog’s history, and documentation from animal control, if any. Medical bills and visits will add up following a dog bite injury, especially for more serious instances that involve plastic surgery and physical therapy. This can lead to missed work and lost wages, which can be used as evidence for the severity of the bite and your need for adequate compensation.
One thing that many do not consider is the emotional effects of a dog bite injury until it happens to them. Imagine you are in a park or another public place going about your day and are suddenly ambushed by an aggressive dog who shows no hesitancy in latching their canines onto your arm or leg. Not only might this lead to a mistrust of public places in general, but it might also contribute to future anxiety.
