Dog Bite Lawsuits In Michigan

Our Michigan dog bite injury lawyers handle cases involving dog bites and attacks throughout the state of Michigan. Dog bite attacks can be a very traumatic and frightening experience for anyone to have to go through. The injuries sustained from a dog bite can be considerable. They may include broken bones, scarring, deformities, serious lacerations, permanent nerve damage, and even death. Many may also suffer psychological and emotional distress, well after the dog bite attack incident occurred. Victims of a dog bite attack do have the right to file a lawsuit in Michigan against the owner of the aggressive dog.

Filing A Michigan Dog Bite Lawsuit

A lawsuit for a Michigan dog bite must be filed with the court, unless the insurance company settles the claim sooner. Once the lawsuit is filed, a claim for damages and losses is made and proof of the dog bite attack injury is documented through medical records, medical bills, photographs, and any witnesses that were at the scene of the attack. Many dog bite attack lawsuits are settled out of court because there are very few legitimate defenses to a dog bite case.
