The Effect of a Dog Bite Ranges Beyond Medical Costs

You aren’t just seeking compensation for medical bills.

The effects of a dog bite can affect many aspects of your life, as you may face:

• Severe pain
• The loss of physical abilities
• Changes in appearance that affect you psychologically and emotionally
• Mood and personality changes that affect how you feel and who you are
• Ongoing and significant medical treatment
• Severe financial harm
• Various other economic and non-economic harm

You may also be severely traumatized by the dog attack. You may have an acute fear of dogs, generalized anxiety, and other long-lasting symptoms that diminish your ability to act normally and enjoy your life.

Our lawyers work with mental health professionals, doctors, and other experts who may have unique insight into the effects of your dog bite. Our settlement demands will reflect every consequence you now face because a dog owner fails to protect you.

We Will Identify Each of Your Recoverable Damages (Including These)

We must place your bite-related damages into specific categories, as this is the expectation in insurance claims and lawsuits. Some of the most common categories of damages dog bite victims face are:

Healthcare Expenses

The medical care you need for a dog bite will depend on the nature of your injuries, where on your body those injuries happened, the severity of the injuries, and potential complications like infection.

You may need compensation to cover:

• An ambulance ride from the site where the bite happened
• Emergency department care
• Stitches, gauze, and other medical materials required for the wound
• Surgery (possibly including cosmetic procedures if you are disfigured because of the bite)
• Antibiotics and medications
• A hospital stay
• Immunizations
• Medical imaging to identify injuries beneath the skin
• Specialist appointments

You may also have to pay for materials to care for your wound(s) at home. Dog bites may introduce bacteria into the victim’s body, and any resulting infection can significantly complicate your recovery.

Pain and Suffering

Pain and suffering resulting from a dog attack in Jonesboro can include: The physical pain that occurs as you are bitten

• Physical pain lingering after the bite
• Fear of dogs
• Generalized anxiety
• Depression
• Scarring and disfigurement, which can significantly diminish your self-image and ability to enjoy life

Every victim has a unique response to a dog bite. Your attorney may have a mental health professional speak with you to document your pain and suffering. Your lawyer may ensure you receive all necessary care for your pain and suffering.

Rehabilitation Costs

A dog bite can cause tendon injuries and other ailments that require rehabilitation. Our attorneys account for every expense our clients suffer, including the cost of rehabilitation for their injuries.

Lost Income and Other Professional Damages

We will calculate the full value of any professional damages resulting from the aggressive dog (and the owner’s negligence), which may include:

• Lost income
• Diminished earning capacity
• Inability to earn bonuses and overtime pay
• Loss of progress toward or opportunities to earn promotions
• Lost benefits

If your dog bite causes a disability, you may lose the ability to work. We will consider this when calculating the professional cost of the liable parties’ negligence.

Harm Resulting from a Disability

When dog bite victims suffer disabling injuries, they may:

• Have to stop working
• Have to make changes to their residence, such as adding handrails
• Experience severe pain and suffering for the remainder of their life
• Face other financial expenses and non-economic challenges that our lawyers will consider

Note that conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder may qualify as a disability. Our team will ensure you receive thorough physical, psychological, and emotional evaluations so we can seek all of the compensation you deserve.

Secure Evidence of Who Caused the Dog Bite

We will determine whose failure caused you to suffer a dog bite.
