Should You Hire a Dog Bite Injury Lawyer If a Dog Bites You?

Most dogs are joyful and lovable, but they also can show you the heights of physical and emotional pain if they lose control. Most dogs don’t bite unless you provoke them. However, some dogs may act aggressively due to an underlying condition, medication, or most commonly a poor upbringing.

If a dog bit you and you did nothing to provoke it before the attack, you should consult with a lawyer immediately. That way, you can make sure your medical bills and other expenses are compensated as well as receive compensation for your pain and suffering.

Arizona’s dog bite laws strongly favor the victims of dog bites but you may not have the expertise required to analyze and prosecute your case on your own. A dog bite injury lawyer knows how and where to start the claims process and will work on your behalf to make sure you get the compensation you deserve.

Negotiation is the key

In most cases, a settlement can be secured even before the case enters the courtroom. In some cases, you have to fight against the dog owner and their insurance companies to get the settlement you deserve. The dog owner and/or the insurance companies might try not to settle or underpay for your claims.

These insurance companies have teams of attorneys to fight against you and pay you as little as possible when you don’t have a dog bite injury lawyer, who knows the process and can negotiate on your behalf. Your lawyer knows the law and possesses the skills to better negotiate a settlement that covers all your expenses and compensates you for your pain and suffering.
