It’s important to remember that domesticated animals are still animals and can attack when they feel scared or threatened. Therefore, predicting how a dog reacts when encountering strangers or new situations is impossible. This unpredictability is often the cause of dog bites and attacks.
If you’ve suffered physical injuries and emotional trauma due to an animal attack, you may be able to recover damages through a personal injury claim. Our attorneys at Roybal-Mack & Cordova, PC, can help you pursue fair compensation for an animal attack.
Common Injuries from an Animal Attack
Common animal attack injuries and damages include lacerations, puncture wounds, and bruises. Additionally, dog bites can raise the risk of infection due to bacteria in the dog’s mouth that humans may have limited or no natural immunity against.
To be eligible for compensation for dog bite or animal attack injuries, you must have been lawfully present on the site where the attack occurred and not have provoked the dog. These conditions are necessary to prove liability—showing that the pet owner is responsible for the attack.
Why You Need a Personal Injury Attorney
Many dog bites occur on private property without surveillance cameras or witnesses, making it difficult to prove liability. Our personal injury attorneys at Roybal-Mack & Cordova, PC, have the experience to properly value your damage claim properly, ensuring that compensation for pain, suffering, and emotional distress is included.
It’s crucial to take legal action immediately after an animal attack or dog bite injury, as the longer you wait, the more challenging it becomes to prove liability. Call or contact Roybal-Mack & Cordova, PC in Albuquerque to schedule an interview with our team.
If our attorneys move forward with your case, dog attack injury cases are taken on a contingency fee basis. You do not owe legal fees unless you collect compensation for your injuries and damages.
