Dog Bites

Louisville Dog Bite Attorney

Personal Injury Form

After a dog bite, two primary considerations for the victim are the prevention of infection, and the prevention or correction of potential scarring or disfigurement. A dog bite victim often suffers some degree of psychological trauma as well.

Contact a Louisville dog bite lawyer at the law offices of Winters & Yonker, PSC, to schedule a free initial consultation to discuss how to pursue and obtain the maximum compensation available -- perhaps from the dog owner's homeowners insurance. Other sources of compensation are also possible.

High-Quality Health Care for Dog Bite Victims

If surgery is recommended, we can help ensure that our clients who have been bitten by dogs receive access to high-quality health care providers. Time may be of the essence, especially if the dog bit a child's face, or bit a young woman in a visible location where disfigurement or scarring is a likely result. The sooner a victim receives top-notch medical care, the better.

A Dog May Cause an Injury Without Actually Biting Someone

In some instances a dog is the cause of a serious injury, despite the fact that the dog did not actually bite someone. A dog chasing a person on a bicycle may cause the person to fall and break a bone, a tooth, or suffer a facial laceration.

Animal Attacks • Motor Vehicle Collisions with Livestock and Wildlife

Other animal-related injuries may involve a motor vehicle and cattle, horses, or deer on a roadway. In such cases, there may be no liability per se, but the victim is well-advised to speak with a personal injury lawyer about how to obtain maximum available compensation through their auto insurance or other relevant sources.
