I NEED HELP NOW

Your personal injury lawyer can help you calculate your recoverable damages, which may include:

  • Medical Bills
  • Income Loss
  • Property Damage
  • Pain & Suffering
  • Emotional Distress
  • Lasting Disfigurement
Egan Dog Bite Lawyer

Dog owners need to be careful when out in public—they should follow all state and local laws on dog leashing and containment to prevent attacks from happening. Otherwise, they could be liable for damages if their animal bites someone. A dog bite attack victim might require extensive surgery and extensive treatment to recover, which are all costs they could demand in a personal injury claim or lawsuit.

If you or a loved one suffered dog bite injuries, you can get help from an Egan dog bite lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers. Our team can use our knowledge of Louisiana law to prepare your case and advocate for your financial recovery. 

Dog Bite Liability in Egan

Liability in dog bite cases varies by state. As a Louisiana law firm, our lawyers know the laws that apply in Egan and can use this knowledge to determine liability. In most cases, a negligent dog owner is responsible for their pet’s actions, making them liable for the injuries and damages resulting from an attack.

The strict liability doctrine protects law enforcement and others who have the legal right to be in private properties, including visitors. However, the doctrine doesn’t protect trespassers.

Evidence That Could Support Your Dog Bite Injury Case

Proving liability in dog bite cases is complex because of the many laws that may be at play, including local leash laws. Our attorneys can identify the relevant statutes and explain their potential effects on your case. We can also collect evidence to support your claim while you take the time to recover. Such evidence we will look for includes:

  • Video footage of the attack
  • Proof of dog owner negligence, such as dogs without leashes in public areas
  • Personal and eyewitness testimonies
  • Property damage
  • Medical reports

How Our Dog Bite Attorneys Can Help

Hiring a dog bite lawyer can prove crucial to your case. At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we handle each stage of the claims process to take as much off your plate as possible while you recover. Some of our services include:

Calculating Dog Bite Injury Damages

Most people are not aware of how to calculate damages accurately. This can lead to undermining their compensation claim and potentially accepting a lowball settlement. 

With a dog bite lawyer from our firm in your corner, you can trust that no recoverable damage will be left out of your case or undervalued. We know the best way to calculate damages, ensuring we factor in potential upcoming costs to fight for fair compensation.

Negotiating Settlements

Our lawyers are here to protect your rights, especially during settlement negotiations. We fight to ensure nobody takes advantage of you by presenting strong evidence in support of your financial recovery and advising you of when an offer undervalues your case. Our team will not just accept the first settlement; we will do our best to get you the best possible outcome, even if it means going to court.

Giving Legal Advice

Because of our experience with dog bite cases, our lawyers know the best legal paths to take in multiple situations. While we will not act without your consent, our lawyers will offer you legal advice depending on your circumstances. This ensures you won’t act in a way that puts your case at risk. We will also prepare you for any testimonies or statements you need to give to ensure you do not accidentally jeopardize your case.

Representing You in Court

The responsible party might not want to settle the case, or you may not agree on a fair settlement. In such cases, the claim can proceed to a court of law. Here, we will present your case and a jury will make the final decision regarding your financial recovery. 

The dog bite lawyer we assign to your case will represent you in court and ensure you know what to expect. Going to trial can be intimidating, but we will ensure the process remains as stress-free as possible as we fight for a court award.

I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.

Damages You Could Recover for a Dog Bite Injury in Egan

Recoverable damages in dog bite cases vary depending on multiple factors, including:

  • The severity and extent of your injuries
  • Your estimated recovery time 
  • The types of treatment you require
  • Whether you are able to make a full recovery
  • Whether your injuries interfere with your ability to work

Our team will consider all these factors when calculating the potential damages in your Egan dog bite case. Then, we can present a justifiable claim for compensation that includes all your current losses and any future potential costs. The damages you could recover may include:

Economic Damages

These cover your quantifiable losses, such as mileage for doctor’s appointments and at-home care costs. Other economic damages you could recover include:

  • Medical costs
  • Cost of repairing damaged property
  • Loss of income
  • Rehabilitation and physical therapy costs
  • Reduced earning potential

Non-Economic Damages

These are harder to quantify, as they impact your mental and emotional well-being. Examples include:

  • Pain and suffering damages
  • Emotional anguish
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Psychological trauma
  • Wrongful death damages

We’ll take the time to identify each and every damage you suffered and estimate their value. Our goal is to ensure your claim is not undervalued so you can make the most of your financial recovery.
