Unfortunately, in recent years, the U.S. has seen some horrific incidences of dog bites. These maulings are tragic and completely avoidable if owners simply took reasonable precautions for their dangerous dogs. The law in Oregon protects those who have been hurt by someone else's dog, so if you or your child has been bitten, know that the law will back you up
in many cases.
One of the first things to do after a dog bite is to call
the Oregon Dog Bite Attorneys at Peterson Law Offices. All over Oregon and southern Washington,
our attorneys have helped victims and parents of victims of dog bites get exactly the compensation they need to heal and move on. In the case of a negligent owner, their insurance company will often try to
minimize the extent of the injuries or deny the claim altogether so that you don't
get a lawyer to help you and get your full due. Wait. Talk to us before you talk to anyone else.
As with many
accidents, the long term effect of injuries are not always obvious immediately. Obviously, a puncture wound or related dog bite marks will be
visible, so make sure you document them as soon as you can. In
dog bite cases, often the visibility and location of scarring
is important in determining the value of your claim.
The scarring or long term damage to nerves and muscles are not always obvious right away. When you work with Peterson Law Offices, we
can refer you to a medical a specialist who is able to determine the true extent of your, or your child's, injuries. Call us as soon as possible at 503-280-0888.
