ANIMAL BITES AND DOG BITES

Each year, millions of people are bitten by dogs and other domestic animals and thousands of people seek medical attention for their injuries. These injuries can be quite serious, and range from wounds, infections and scars to nerve damage and can even require reconstructive surgery. Most terrifying of all, animal bite victims are frequently small children, many under 12 years of age.

In the case of dogs, for example, know that Michigan law holds the dog owner, or one who harbors the dog, responsible for damages caused by a dog bite. However, often it is extremely difficult to determine the identity OF the dog owner. Sometimes, the dog owner denies ownership. Or, the dog owner may claim that the victim provoked the dog. to undertake a claim, these hurdles must be overcome, and injuries such as scars must be properly assessed. This requires a great deal of legal experience in this area of law.

At Mindell, Malin & Kutinsky, we understand that animal bites leave not only physical traces, but psychological wounds as well. All this and more must be taken into account when addressing your claim with the insurance company. Call us today to discuss your animal-related injury.

Please note: it is generally a good idea to report dog bites to your local county animal control department and police department as soon as possible after the incident.

If you or a loved one have been bitten by a dog or injured by an animal, you may have a claim against the owner for your damages including your medical expenses, wage loss, and pain and suffering. Please be aware that there are time limits within which you may bring a claim for this type of injury so we strongly encourage you or your loved ones to contact us as soon as possible.
