Massachusetts Dog Bite Cases

Dog bites and dog attacks can cause serious injuries. The victim may be left with permanent scarring, facial disfigurement, broken bones, and lasting emotional trauma. If you’re the victim of a dog bite or dog attack, contact the experienced personal injury attorneys at the Law Office of Neil Burns. We’ve handled many dog bite cases, for adults and children and are proud of our history of winning monetary compensation for our clients.

If you suffered a dog bite or attack, the law in Massachusetts is clear – and in your favor. You can win compensation for your injuries from the dog’s owner even if the owner was not negligent. You can win compensation regardless of whether the dog attacked anyone before – there’s no such thing as a “free bite.” You can win compensation regardless of the dog’s breed – whether the dog’s a pit bull or a poodle, a Doberman or a Golden.

What you need to prove is that the defendant is the dog’s owner, that you weren’t trespassing, and that you weren’t tormenting the dog. Cases tend to be fairly straightforward.

Aside from that, your dog bite case will probably focus on the extent of your injuries. Most dog bite and dog attack injuries fall within the homeowner’s insurance coverage. For these reasons, the vast majority of dog bite cases settle well before trial.

The Boston attorneys at the Law Office of Neil Burns are highly experienced at skillfully documenting your dog bite injuries and presenting your case forcefully.
