Oregon Dog Bite Law changes from time to time. For any dog bite you've suffered that's more than a peck, the steps you take
after the dog bite can seriously affect how you might be compensated later. Even if you're not sure how extreme the dog bite you've suffered is, give us a call at Peterson Law Offices. Just as important, do not talk to any insurance companies, or even at length with the dog owner, before you've spoken with us.
First, and foremost, seek medical help, but make sure that you get a photo
of the injury. Any kind of documentation of the wound will prove most important. Photos are helpful for the entire healing process, as well, since they can document the scar tissue that you may be forced to live with.
We have experience in taking dog bite injury photos and have good
photo equipment for that purpose.
Make sure that at some point soon after the accident you get the name and address of the owner, as well as the breed of the dog. Animal Care and Control will need to be called then. They will often quarantine a dog so that no one else will be bitten while the dog is assessed.
At Peterson Law Offices,
we have knowledge of Oregon dog bite law and we can help you determine if legal action makes sense. We will take you from there, step by step, so that you get fully compensated for any medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and whatever other issues pertain to your case. Call us today at 503-280-0888 to learn more.
