Morse Dog Bite Lawyer

A dog owner has the role of keeping other people safe from harm by their pet. But some owners ignore this responsibility, and their negligence leads to their dog biting others. If you are the victim of a dog bite in Morse, you are probably facing emotional trauma and high treatment bills.

The law allows you to seek compensation from a negligent dog owner for the harm their animal caused you. Recovering damages will enable you to pay for medical bills and compensate you for other unmeasurable damages. But, financial recovery is often a complicated process. A Morse dog bite lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can handle all the aspects of your injury case and recover compensation for you.

Safeguard Your Right to Compensation After a Dog Bite in Morse

You have the power to protect your ability to get compensation by taking specific measures. After you get bitten, you should obtain the dog owner’s contact information. This will help you in the financial recovery process. Identifying the dog by photographing it is also a good idea.

Also, take photos of the scene of the incident and your injuries. Visual evidence can do a lot to support your claims. If there are eyewitnesses around, ask them for their contact information. This will ensure they can be reached later to give statements on the incident. Get medical help for your dog bite injuries as soon as possible. Dog bites can lead to:

  • Rabies
  • Skin infection
  • Permanent disability
  • Disfigurement
  • Nerve injury

The medical records from your hospital visit can serve to validate your claims. You can then consult a Morse dog bite lawyer from our firm. Your attorney will guide you through the process of filing for compensation.

Elements of a Successful Dog Bite Claim in Morse

A dog owner is accountable for the damages their animal causes. But, your claim has to satisfy the requirements of the law for you to stand a chance to recover damages.

One requirement is that the animal owner knew or should have known that their dog’s behavior would result in damages. Second, the damages could have been averted had the owner practiced due care. Another requirement is that the dog owner in question did not exercise said due care. Finally, the injured person’s damages should not result from their provocation of the dog.

To protect your chance of success, you must meet the stipulated case deadlines. According to CC Art. 3492, you have two years to file a lawsuit for personal injury. A dog bite is an example of personal injury. Your lawyer can work to make sure you meet the two-year time limit.

Settlement in a Morse Dog Bite Case

What you can get as damages in a dog bite case is not the same as what another victim will get. That is because all cases are unique. But, there are some common potential damages that victims can recover in dog bite claims. One of the most significant damages is medical costs. Treatment for dog bites may include reconstruction surgery, medication, and physical therapy.

You deserve to recover compensation for medical care. If you miss work, you can recover lost income. Loss of future earning potential covers the income you will lose if you cannot work at the same capacity because of your injuries.

For some damages, it is hard to attach monetary value. But you can still recover compensation for them. Examples are emotional distress, scarring and disfigurement, and permanent disability. Your lawyer will calculate these damages and determine what you are owed.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.

How Compensation Is Paid in a Morse Dog Bite Claim

Often, when you file a dog bite claim, the dog owner’s insurance company will be responsible for paying it. But, the insurance company may try to pay you less for your claim or nothing at all by denying your claims. When the insurer denies or devalues your claim, they protect their bottom line.

The insurance firm will place a representative to handle your case. This person may try to use some tactics to help achieve the insurer’s agenda. For example, they may be quick to make a settlement offer. The first offer is usually low. If you accept it, you lose your chance to claim more compensation.

A Morse dog bite lawyer from our firm knows the tricks that an insurer may use. You can leave it to the attorney to handle the insurance company. They can negotiate for favorable compensation. If negotiations are not successful, we can take your case to court an achieve an award there.

They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.

Potential Defenses in an Acadia Parish Dog Bite Claim

Louisiana’s law of comparative fault can help the other party’s defense. Under comparative fault, your settlement gets reduced by your degree of contribution to the incident.

So, the defense can argue that you partly contributed to the damages you suffered to reduce what they must pay as compensation. Our dog bite lawyer can gather evidence that shows who caused the incident to safeguard your right to compensation.
