Dog Bite/Animal Attack
Bitten by a Dog in Wisconsin?
Dogs can inflict serious harm with one quick snap of their powerful jaws. Young children are the most frequent victims of dog bites and attacks, often suffering bites to the face and hands that require many stitches or plastic surgery. Terry Lyons
has held pet owners responsible for injuries caused by their dogs, including:
- Bite wounds and claw wounds
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Reconstructive surgery
- Nerve damage or infection
- Injuries from fleeing an attacking dog
- Damages for pain and suffering
Was the dog that attacked you known to be dangerous? Where the dog’s owner had notice of a previous attack, we will seek double damages for your injuries.
