We Can Give You Comfort And Answers
Navigating the aftermath of a dog bite attack is complicated and taking the first step can feel overwhelming. But it’s important to get the ball rolling so you can find relief. The first step to take after a dog bite, after receiving the proper medical care, is to report your injury to the dog’s owner and ask for their name and contact information. Next, you should report the injury to the authorities, such as the police department, animal control, or the local health department. Then, you need to contact an attorney who can help you navigate the following steps of filing a claim. A Maryville personal injury attorney can answer questions you might have about this process and give guidance about your potential case.
It is not always necessary to go to court to resolve a dog bite injury claim. Many personal injury matters in Tennessee are settled out of court. Your personal injury lawyer can help you make the best decision for your individual case and circumstances and give you the pros and cons of each option. And, if the dog owner does not necessarily have the funds to pay for your injuries, you can still file a personal injury claim. The owner’s personal or renters insurance may pay for your bills and expenses, or there may be other parties who can be held liable for your injuries whom you can receive compensation from.
