Though it is estimated that there are more than 50 million dogs in the United States and only a handful ever attack a person, there is often very considerable damage and injury when a dog does bite or attack.

Dog Bite Injuries and Damage
Our dog bite attorneys know that bites and attacks often result in more types of damage than other personal injury accidents. Dog bite victims, especially small children, often suffer from psychological harm, fear, and mental trauma after being bitten or attacked, in addition to suffering from physical injuries and harm such as:
- Hand injury
- Facial injury
- Nerve damage
- Puncture wounds and infection
- Disfigurement and scarring
- Laceration
- Bone fracture
Pet Owner Liability
Any dog, from a pit bull to a poodle, can bite if provoked. However, a family dog may bite or attack a guest, mail carrier, family member, or another visitor to the home due to owner negligence or carelessness. Owners can be held liable for violating leash laws, not keeping a dog restrained properly, or letting a dog run at-large. Regardless of whether the dog bite occurred on the owner's property or off, we can help determine if the owner is ultimately responsible and liable for the dog's actions.
Our dog bite claim lawyers thoroughly investigate the incident, question eyewitnesses, talk with neighbors to learn about the dog's disposition and other bites, and gather medical evidence. We strive to get you compensation for injuries due to pet owner negligence. We will help you tell the insurance company you mean business by skillfully handling your dog bite claim or lawsuit.
If you were attacked or bitten by a dog in the El Paso or Alamogordo area, contact our dog bite attorneys today for a free initial consultation. Se habla español.
