Should I contact a Lawyer for a Dog Bite?
Regardless of your location, dog attacks leading to emotional trauma or physical trauma via dog bites are a real concern for many people. In most “dog bite case” the dog owners will usually be held liable for any damages to the other party. This means that in New Hampshire, they need to pay for your medical bills associated with the act.
A dog owner is held responsible (sometimes called strictly liable) for injuries caused by their dog, but it is their homeowner’s insurance policy that will actually pay for your medical costs or emergency room visit.
Not all dog case will have severe injuries or lead to large damages. Larger damages will typically happen if there is:
- Visible scarring or disfigurement that impairs normal body functions
- Permanent disabilities
- Bites that require emergency medical attention
- Bites that require therapy
