COMPENSATION FOR LEVEL 4 DOG BITE – LAWYERS

Most of the dog bite cases our lawyers handle are rated level 4 or 5 by doctors. This means there is at least one deep puncture that has caused significant damage. For example, there will be a laceration requiring stiches or a bone fracture. This level of dog bite injury is serious and often leaves the victim with permanent scars.

A dog bite lawyer can be necessary to get the compensation you need for you injuries. Unfortunately, many people are overprotective of their dog and resist cooperating. The dog owner usually has homeowners insurance that will pay compensation to the victim. However, the dog owner may resist turning the case over to their insurance for fear that their rates will go up or they will lose their insurance altogether. Sometimes, the dog owner thinks they can just pay for the damage themselves. But usually, the dog owner vastly underestimates the costs of medical treatment, plastic surgery, and other compensatin required.

A level 4 or 5 dog bite will almost always leave the victim with permanent scars. Unfortunately, many of our cases involve a bit to the face, and often it is to a child. That type of injury is life changing. Of course, plastic surgery may be tried. But even with plastic surgery there will be visible scars. Also, plastic surgery is expensive and beyond what the dog owner can pay on their owner. Therefore, homeowners insurance is necessary.
