New Jersey Animal Attack Attorney
In New Jersey, the dog's owner has strict liability for damage done by dog bites. That means that, unless you were trespassing, the dog's owner has to take responsibility and pay for the damages.
A dog bite attack can happen while walking down a street, standing in your yard, visiting a friend or delivering a package. No matter where or how it happened, the owner is liable. At the Smith & Doran law firm in Morristown, New Jersey, a personal injury attorney can explain your rights and represent you.
A Dog Bite Injury Can Cause Physical and Psychological Damage
As lawyers who represent the victims, we have seen the damage an animal attack can cause. A dog bite attack can give a child a lifelong fear of dogs. A fear of dogs — in an adult or a child — can cause anxiety attacks and post-traumatic stress.
- Dog bites can cause nerve damage, infections, cosmetic injuries and fractured bones.
- The dog owner's homeowners insurance or renters insurance should cover dog bite injuries. If the owner does not have insurance, our law firm will seek other solutions for our clients.
