DOG OR CAT BITE/ATTACK AT PET STORE – MN COMPENSATION ATTORNEYS
Pet stores are great. If you are a pet owner, it can be fun just to browse. In addition to the basic food and other necessities you need for your dog or cat, there are lots of toys and treats. Many pet stores will let people bring their own pet to the store to look around. However, it’s important for dog and cat owners to keep their animal under control at the pet store. There may be other animals, customers, and other distractions to make a pet feel threatened and act out. In fact, our lawyers have handled several cases for people injured at a pet store in Minnesota.
We had one case where a cat got loose in the store and scratched a customer, causing a serious injection. In that case, the cat was actually owned by the store, so the case was against the store owner. Our dog bite attorneys have also had several cases where someone was bitten or attacked by a dog at a pet store. In those situations, there are medical bills from the injury and other compensation that needs to be paid. Of course, you don’t want to sue the store or another customer. However, they have insurance, and your will have medical bills plus other losses.
WHAT TO DO AFTER BEING INJURED AT A PET STORE
It is important to get the name and contact person of the dog owner whose dog attacked or bit you at the pet store. The dog owner will likely have homeowners insurance to pay the required compensation for the injury. Also make sure to get the names of the pet store employees. If the pet store owns the animal that attacked or injured you, their insurance will have to pay your medical bills and other compensation. It is not much different than being hurt at the store any other way, such as a slip and fall.
