Avenant Rappoport Attorneys - We ensure positive results for our clients
Avenant Rappoport Attorneys have dealt with many personal injury claims, and dog bite claims are one of the most common injuries we assess. This kind of injury can happen in your neighbourhood, out in the park or even at a friend’s home. This is one of those unpredictable situations, which also can be prevented.
If you have been attacked or bitten by a dog and need to claim for compensation from the owner, Avenant Rappoport Attorneys will help you lodge a successful action.
Who do I claim from?
Who you claim from is contingent on whether you were bitten by a stray or a dog with an owner. Legally the dog’s owner is liable for any damages it causes.
If you can locate and contact the dog’s owner, you can claim directly from that person. However, in the case that the dog has nobody that is responsible for it, you won’t be able to claim from them. You can make a claim from your own health insurance if you have.
Claiming successfully from the animal’s owner requires that you prove negligence on the part of its owner, showing that the incident could have been prevented if the dog had been managed properly.
This may require witness testimonies or compliance of the owner. You will also need to show that your behaviour at the time of the accident did not incite or exacerbate the dog’s aggression or the extent of your resulting injuries. If your actions did worsen the results of the incident, finding you negligent, your compensation will be duly reduced.
The value of your claim is not just influenced by provable negligence, but also, the skill of the lawyer you employ, the severity of your injuries and the wealth and/or insurance of the defendant. Avenant Rappoport Attorneys are legal experts experienced in dog bite cases.
Why not contact us for a free consultation to discuss and make a claim? In the event your claim can be proved successfully, we will orchestrate the litigation on your behalf, ensuring your claim achieves the desired results.
