Helping Clients in Doylestown, Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton and Stroudsburg Since 1985
Did failure to restrain a dangerous dog lead to an attack that resulted in severe injuries to you or your loved one, such as disfigurement, scarring to your face or nerve damage? Did your landlord or a property owner know about a vicious animal on their property and do nothing to prevent your injuries?
If you were bitten by a dog or attacked by another animal, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. However, the fact that you were injured does not automatically entitle you to damages — you must also prove that the owner was negligent or otherwise at fault. This is not necessarily easy to do.
At Drake, Hileman & Davis, we know how to handle your claim. We have extensive experience representing clients who have been injured in animal attacks involving domesticated animals such as dogs, cats and rabbits and other wild animals permitted and encouraged to remain within public areas on the owner's property (including bats). Our attorneys will fight to get you the compensation you deserve for your injuries, including damages for pain and suffering, lost wages and medical expenses.
We handle personal injury and premises liability cases throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
At Drake, Hileman & Davis, we know how to prove negligence in a animal bite cases by:
- Demonstrating an animals "dangerous propensity" through evidence of prior attacks, bad disposition, or classification as an attack breed.
- Showing that the owner violated leash laws or other local ordinances.
