Understanding Dog Bite Law in Georgia
In Georgia, dog bite laws can be complex. Victims must often prove that the dog had a history of aggression or that the owner knew of the dog’s propensity to bite. This is sometimes referred to as the “one-bite rule.” Additionally, proving negligence on the part of the dog owner, such as violation of leash laws or failure to secure their pet properly, is crucial to a successful claim.
How We Handle Dog Bite Claims
Thorough Investigation
Our team conducts a detailed investigation of the incident to gather all necessary evidence, including witness statements, medical records, and, if available, previous reports of aggression by the dog in question.
Negotiating with Insurance Companies
Dealing with insurance companies can be challenging in dog bite cases. Our experienced negotiators work tirelessly to ensure that you are fairly compensated for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any other related costs.
Legal Representation
If a satisfactory settlement cannot be reached through negotiation, our skilled legal team is prepared to take your case to court. We provide robust representation to ensure that your rights are protected and you receive the compensation you deserve.
Types of Compensation in Dog Bite Cases
Victims of dog bites may be eligible to receive compensation for:
- Medical Expenses: Covering current and future medical treatments related to the injury.
- Lost Wages: Compensation for time off work and any future loss of earning capacity.
- Pain and Suffering: For the physical and emotional distress caused by the incident.
- Property Damage: If personal property was damaged during the incident.
- Punitive Damages: In cases of egregious negligence, to punish the wrongdoer and deter future negligence.
