The first thing to realize when making a claim, is that you are not suing the dog owner. When you hire Pennsylvania dog bite lawyer Jeffrey Harlan Penneys, you are getting an expert third party that is detached from the personal aspect, and therefore the emotion of the incident, to negotiate for you and protect your rights. We first try to settle the case for fair compensation for your injuries and suffering. If that is not possible amicably, we then file suit to recover damages. Call 1-800-465-8795 to get started.
A dog bite is a traumatic event, especially for a child bitten by a dog. Each year, multiple deaths are reported as a result of vicious dog attacks. Oftentimes this results in permanent scarring, or nerve damage; and the risk of a serious infection is always present. Many times there is psychological harm from the attack that persists well beyond the physical injury. That is why experienced Pennsylvania dog bite lawyers can be so valuable. I am able to get you compensation not only for current medical bills, and lost wages from a Pennsylvania dog attack, but also in getting you a settlement that will cover future issues such as psychological treatment and plastic surgery to reduce scarring!
