When You Need A Staten Island Dog Bite Attorney, We Are Here To Help
Last updated on September 24, 2024
Dog bites happen every day. While some of these attacks may not break the skin, many people suffer from serious injuries because of stray dogs or negligent dog owners.
Since 1985, our team of Staten Island attorneys has helped New York families recover from their losses. We understand the severity of your personal injuries and want to help in any way we can.
What Are The Dangers Of A Dog Bite?
You should not ignore the severity of dog bites. An attack by a dog can lead to the following injuries:
- Puncture wounds
- Broken bones
- Infection
- Disfigurement
- Nerve damage
- Psychological harm
These injuries can have lifelong effects on victims. Our attorneys can educate you on your legal rights.
What Damages Can You Collect From A Dog Bite?
There are several possible damages that you could collect because of a dog bite. You may receive compensation for things such as:
- Medical treatment: A dog bite may require a victim to seek medical help for surgery or hospitalization, leading to medical expenses.
- Lost wages: A dog bite could cause injuries that limit a victim’s ability to work, causing them to lose substantial income.
- Long-term recovery costs: Medical conditions may require future treatment, such as rehabilitation or reconstructive surgery and psychological harm.
Our lawyers at Angiuli & Gentile, LLP, can help you pursue maximum compensation for your injuries and losses.
How Long Do You Have To File?
In New York, you have three years from the date of the bite to file a claim. While that may seem like a lot of time, our attorneys believe that starting a case early is in your best interest. Delaying a dog bite claim could prevent you from receiving maximum compensation for your losses.
