Dog Bites

Lancaster, Rock Hill and Fort Mill, South Carolina

Aggressive and potentially dangerous animals can appear out of nowhere and attack without warning. Even dogs that have shown nothing but friendliness can become threatening in certain situations. Dog bites are a growing problem in South Carolina, resulting in too many trips to the hospital annually. At the personal injury law firm of Blackwell Trimnal Myers, LLC, we represent dog bite victims with the goal of helping these families achieve substantial compensation for their serious injuries.

Dog bites can result in physical scarring and sometimes require plastic surgery. Dog bite victims often face lasting emotional effects stemming from the attack, as well. Victims of animal attacks may be forced to come up with money for emergency room visits, stitches, surgery, reconstructive surgery, and other medical expenses. When you hire our experienced injury team to file suit against a negligent owner, you are taking a stand against the wrong that has been done and forcing the owner to take responsibility.

Owner Responsibility

Owners of dogs who attack should be held legally responsible for the harm their animals cause. Many dog bites happen when owners ignore leash laws and let their animals roam freely. Dog owners who are on record for previous dog bites should be held accountable for allowing their animal to put others in danger, and they should face serious financial consequences. Keep in mind that a dog bite lawsuit seeks compensation from homeowner and renter insurance policies first, so you do not have to feel bad about going after personal assets and income.

Compensation for Recovery

After a severe dog bite injury, your family will need resources to cover hospital and doctor bills, income loss if the victim is unable to work, pain and suffering, rehabilitation, surgery, and other expenses. Our experienced dog bite attorneys will work to get you the compensation you need and deserve by thoroughly investigating the details of the attack and building a strong case against the dog owner. We will speak with physicians, witnesses, prior victims, and others who can help your case. Ultimately, we are prepared to go to court if necessary to prove that you deserve compensation.
