Call (248) 750-0149 for a Free Consultation with a Michigan Animal Attack Lawyer. We are available 7 days a week for you convenience.
If you have been bitten by another person’s dog in Michigan and have ongoing injuries as a result, you need our team of professional Michigan dog bite lawyers on your side. We understand the variations in the law relating to dog bites, and we will help you to sort through them to determine if you have a legitimate case.
Depending on your state of residence, the dog’s owner can be held liable for your injuries even if the dog has never bitten anyone before or the owner did not act in a negligent manner. However, the owner is not liable for your injuries if you teased or provoked the dog or if you were trespassing on the owner’s property.
When you meet with one of our experienced dog bite lawyers for the first time, we will provide the consultation to you at no charge. During this meeting, we will each have the opportunity to ask questions of one another. We encourage you to ask all questions you have about the legal process involving dog bites at this first appointment, although we are happy to provide references or additional resources upon your request.
If you decide to hire one of our Michigan dog bite lawyers after you have had the opportunity for a consultation, we will not ask you for any fees upfront. Our attorneys work on a contingency basis, which simply means that they do not collect a fee for their services until after you have won your lawsuit. We hope this fact encourages you to pursue the financial compensation you may be entitled to receive.
In the course of preparing your lawsuit against the owner of the dog that bit you, we will ask you to provide several key pieces of information. This may include your medical records pertaining to the dog bite, an incident report if one was taken and interviewing any witnesses to the attack. We do this to have all of our facts together so that we can present a lawsuit to the other party on your behalf.
If you win your lawsuit, you can expect to receive money to pay your medical expenses, lost wages and a monetary award for pain and suffering. This includes both present and future expenses and losses.
