Edison Dog Bite Lawyers

Despite the fact that dogs are often viewed as loving, reliable companions, recent statistics report that close to 1,000 people need emergency treatment for dog bite injuries every day across the United States. Dog bites – especially those on the face – can be incredibly serious and may even be deadly in some instances. Additionally, treating dog bite injuries may cost thousands of dollars in medical bills and rehabilitation costs.

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury in a dog attack, you need to take legal action and fight for financial compensation. Dog attacks account for over $1 billion in loses every year, and as a victim of a dog attack, you should not get stuck paying for these damages out of your own pocket. To learn more about your legal rights and options in this situation, contact the Edison dog bite lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., today at 800-346-5529 and schedule an initial consultation.

Dog Bite Dangers

State laws in New Jersey hold all dog owners responsible for the actions of their pets. This includes any aggressive or vicious behavior – even if a dog has never exhibited these behaviors in the past. Dog bites can be traumatic and may cause severe physical or even psychological damage. Sadly, the majority of all dog bite victims are children, and children who are attacked by dogs may suffer for decades from the physical and emotional effects of this experience.

Not only can you suffer potentially serious and permanent injuries from a bite itself, but you may also contract diseases such as rabies if the dog that bit you happened to be infected. These injuries could cause you to miss work and may even leave you permanently disabled or disfigured. To deal with the high costs of these injuries, and to make sure that the owner of the pet that attacked you is held accountable for their wrongdoing, it is important that you take swift legal action following a dog attack.
