Dog Bite


We have practiced personal injury law in Michigan since 1936. It's difficult to find a firm in our state that has as much history behind its name.  We have handled Michigan dog bite injury claims since our firm opened its practice, making us one of the leading dog bite injury lawyers in Michigan.  Despite all of our success in helping thousands of dog bite clients, we have also learned, unfortunately, that these attacks leave many of our clients with long-lasting scars and psychological trauma.

There are two frightening truths behind dog bite attacks:

1) Children are the victims of a large number of the most vicious dog attacks.

2) Dog attacks, unlike car accidents, don't end quickly.  Many times an attack will last several minutes, or will continue until the victim fights off the dog, is helped by another person, or is mauled to death.

Michigan dog bite laws are very clear:  The owner of a dog is strictly liable for dog bites to a human being that were not provoked, provided that if the incident happened upon the dog owner's property the victim was not a trespasser or there to do something unlawful or criminal. 

Rabies and infection are a serious concern with regard to any dog bite.  Rabies is a serious condition and approximately 18,000 people are treated for possible

 

rabies exposure each year, and infection occurs in 15 to 20 percent of dog bite cases.  Even if you don't believe the dog bite is serious enough to warrant legal representation, you should always consult with a doctor and make an effort to track down the animals vaccination records.
