A dog bite can cause far more than a painful injury. Victims often suffer deep lacerations, infections, nerve damage, permanent scarring, emotional trauma, and, in some cases, long-term psychological effects. Children are especially vulnerable to serious injuries from dog attacks. If you or a loved one has been bitten by a dog, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

​

Massachusetts law provides important protections for many dog bite victims, and in many cases, a dog owner may be held responsible even if the dog has never bitten anyone before. However, insurance companies may still attempt to minimize your injuries or reduce the value of your claim. Having an experienced attorney can help ensure your rights are fully protected throughout the legal process.

​

He thoroughly investigates every case, gathers the necessary evidence, negotiates with insurance companies, and aggressively pursues the compensation you deserve. His goal is to make the legal process as straightforward as possible while you focus on healing.

Three Things You Should NOT Do

1. Don't delay seeking medical treatment.

2. Don't communicate with the dog owner's insurance company alone.

3. Don't wait to seek legal advice.

Even minor dog bites can lead to serious infections or other complications. Prompt medical care protects your health and creates important documentation for your claim.

Insurance adjusters may try to minimize your injuries or encourage a quick settlement. Speak with an attorney before providing statements or accepting any offer.

Evidence, witness information, and important records can become more difficult to obtain over time. Contacting an attorney early helps protect your rights and strengthen your case.
