Empathy, Expertise, and Justice: Our Approach to Dog Bite Cases

Dog bites can result in not only physical injuries but also emotional trauma, leaving victims with lasting scars. At Boston Injury Law Group, our team of dedicated dog bite lawyers understands the multifaceted impact of such incidents. This page serves as a comprehensive guide to our services, outlining our approach, the types of cases we handle, and why our clients trust us to pursue justice on their behalf.

Understanding Dog Bite Cases

Dog bite cases involve a unique set of circumstances and legal considerations. Our attorneys are well-versed in the complexities of dog bite laws, which may vary by state. In Massachusetts, the law holds dog owners strictly liable for injuries caused by their pets, regardless of the animal’s previous behavior or the owner’s knowledge of its aggressiveness.

Our Approach to Dog Bite Cases

• Immediate Action: We recognize the urgency of dog bite cases and take immediate action to preserve evidence, document injuries, and assess the circumstances surrounding the incident.
• Investigation: Our legal team conducts a thorough investigation into the dog bite, gathering information about the dog’s history, the owner’s negligence, and any contributing factors to build a strong case.
• Medical Documentation: We work closely with medical professionals to ensure that the full extent of your injuries is documented, providing a clear picture of the physical and emotional impact of the dog bite.
• Negotiation with Insurance Companies: Many dog bite cases are resolved through negotiations with the dog owner’s insurance company. We leverage our negotiation skills to seek fair compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages.
• Litigation if Necessary: While we strive for amicable resolutions, our experienced litigators are prepared to take cases to court if necessary, advocating fiercely for our clients in pursuit of maximum compensation.
