Being bitten by a dog leaves psychological scarring that lasts long after the gashes and bruising fade. Some people may suffer such serious attacks that they have permanent nerve damage, disfigurement, and a limited range of motion, plus debilitating phobias or PTSD. In Utah, dog owners are responsible for the harm their animal causes, including paying damages to the victim. Our Draper, UT dog bite lawyer can help you get the compensation you need for quality medical and psychological care. Call Acadia Law Group PC today to learn more.
Dog Bite Lawyer Draper, UT
A large dog can cause serious, permanently disabling injuries when it attacks. Deep bite wounds, nerve damage, broken bones, and extensive scarring and disfigurement are very common injuries, with no guarantee that the victim will fully recover. The psychological injuries are just as deep; you may feel unable to walk through your neighborhood in peace, or have difficulty concentrating on work or school because of trauma flashbacks or trouble sleeping.
You deserve full and fair compensation for all your material losses, including current and future medical care, from the attack. You also deserve compensation for your loss of quality of life, which, though more difficult to quantify, still has considerable value. Our Draper dog bite lawyer can help you get it—every penny.
As your legal advocate, we handle all the legal matters required to pursue compensation after a dog attack. Utah has a strict liability law for animal attacks, which means that the dog’s owners are liable for the harm it caused you, even if it has never bitten anyone before. We build a strong case, including properly valuing all your damages, and prepare to present it to a judge and jury, if necessary. However, many cases are resolved out of court, in negotiations between our firm and the insurance company, or in mediation, an alternative dispute resolution method.
We focus on your needs, represent your interests with the other party, and handle all the legal matters required for your case, so you can focus on the healing, physical therapy, and counseling you need to recover from the attack.
