 Dog Bites & Animal
Attack Law Attorneys
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.

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.
