When Dog Owners Fail: Legal Recourse for Serious Dog Bite Injuries

•Negligence in Dog Bite Cases: More Than Just a "Bad Dog"

Dog bite injuries are rarely accidents. They often result from negligence, such as:

• Failing to leash or contain a known-aggressive dog
• Ignoring local leash laws or breed-specific restrictions
• Allowing unsupervised dogs around children or guests
• Failing to post warnings on private property
• Prior attacks or a documented history of aggression

When owners neglect to take basic precautions, they put everyone around them at risk. We work to prove that the dog attack wasn’t random—it was preventable.

•The Aftermath: Injuries That Change Lives

Dog bites are more than just surface wounds. They can lead to:

• Deep tissue injuries and nerve damage
• Scarring and disfigurement, especially to the face and hands
• Risk of infection, including rabies and MRSA
• PTSD, anxiety, and fear of animals
• Emergency surgeries and long-term physical therapy

Our firm takes a comprehensive approach—calculating not just current losses, but the full emotional and financial toll of your injuries over time.

•Building a Strong Case from Day One

Taking the right steps immediately after a dog attack can make a significant difference in your case. Here's how McDonald Trial Lawyers helps:

• Securing animal control reports and medical documentation
• Interviewing witnesses and reviewing surveillance footage
• Determining past complaints or violations by the dog owner
• Consulting with medical experts and psychologists
• Calculating fair compensation for pain, disfigurement, and lost income

Our attorneys move quickly to preserve evidence and protect your rights before insurance companies step in with low offers or denials.

•Holding the Right Parties Accountable

In many cases, liability extends beyond just the dog owner. Depending on the circumstances, we may pursue claims against:

• Landlords who knew of a dangerous animal on their property
• Businesses that failed to control animals on-site
• Homeowners or renters insurance providers
• Property owners who didn’t post warnings or enforce safety

We investigate every angle to ensure no responsible party escapes accountability.
