When We Can Help You

Dog bites and animal attacks occur much more frequently than you would suspect – with millions of people are bitten by animals each year. Depending upon the facts and circumstances surrounding the dog bite or animal attack, the person whom was bitten may have a legal right to recover damages for his or her physical, mental or emotional injuries caused by the bite from the animal’s owner or another responsible party.

In most cases, you should contact us immediately after an injury, since it may be one of the most important things you can do to protect yourself and your family since injuries suffered as a result of these types of accidents can negatively impact your life. The sooner you get us involved in the case, the sooner we can gather the appropriate evidence, evaluate the facts and obtain witness statements. Remember, there are certain statutes of limitation that may apply – and if a lawsuit is not filed within this specified period of time – you will be forever barred from doing so in the future.
Although there are many commonalities with the above types of accidents, there are often times special Local, State or Federal laws that apply to certain types of accidents – and we may need to get special notices out to the appropriate parties as quickly as possible. As stated previously, it is usually best to retain us as soon as possible so we can have the most positive impact upon your case.

Even if you did not retain us immediately (which is generally the best thing to do), you can retain us anytime prior to formally resolving and/or settling your Personal Injury claim with the at-fault party and/or the at-fault parties’ insurance company.

What We Can Do To Help You

Our law firm understands that injuries sustained as a result of dog bites or animal attacks can be very severe and life altering – not only for the injured person(s) but their family. Therefore, we will focus on your immediate needs of getting your medical bills paid in a timely fashion, making sure you do not suffer economically due to a wage loss and ensuring that you are getting the best quality medical treatment for your injuries.

Once your immediate needs are met, we will work closely with your insurance company, the at-fault parties’ insurance company, your medical providers as well as any other relevant parties to insure that all of your needs are being handled appropriately and quickly. Our goal will be to expeditiously resolve your personal injury claim for the maximize amount of compensation available for your past, present and future medicals bills, your past, present and future lost wages and your past, present and future pain & suffering, mental anguish and emotional distress.

Dog bites or animal attacks arise when people are injured by the negligent, careless or intentional acts of their pet. If an individual’s pet is determined to be legally liable for injuring someone else due to the owner’s negligence or carelessness or even intentional acts, then the pet owner may be required to pay the injured person (or their family) monetary damages that are designed to put a person back to where they were prior to their injury (i.e. compensatory damages). In certain instances, punitive damages may also be awarded to the injured person (or their family) if the actions of the at-fault party was so extreme. Punitive damages are intended to punish the at-fault party and prevent them from harming others again in the future.

You should hire The Law Offices of Joseph A. Porcelli, P.A. to assist you with your Dog Bite or Animal Attack because there are many potential hazards in attempting to resolve these types of claims on your own. Foremost among them is that many insurance companies (even your own) may deny coverage for legitimate claims or deny injured people a fair and reasonable settlement for their injuries. Your insurance policy alone is not enough to guarantee you coverage or a fair representation from your insurance carrier.

The Law Offices of Joseph A. Porcelli, P.A. has represented numerous injured parties due to Dog Bites and Animal Attacks, quite possibly even someone that you know. Most people do not have the experience of resolving this type of claim with their insurance company or the at-fault parties’ insurance company and are at a decided disadvantage when they attempt to do so on their own. Our years of experience in assisting injured people helps level the playing field to your benefit by maximizing the value of your personal injury settlement in an expedient and professional manner.

How You Pay For Our Legal Services

We offer a FREE SAME DAY CONSULTATION and we always accept Dog Bite and Animal Attack cases on Contingency Fee Basis. Putting it in another way, if we do not obtain a recovery on your behalf, you will owe us NOTHING in legal fees nor do you have to reimburse us for your costs / expenses of our legal representation. Furthermore, if either the at-fault insurance company and/or your insurance company did not follow strict guidelines in evaluating and paying your claim, they may be subject to a potential “Bad Faith” lawsuit, which may provide you with additional compensation beyond that listed in the applicable insurance policies.
