Pennsylvania Lawyers For Dog Bite Victims

There is nothing funny about a dog bite. Dogs’ teeth can cause serious and permanent injuries, and the scars can last a lifetime and require multiple surgeries and treatments.

If you have been bitten by a dog, you should seek immediate medical attention. Even a minor bite can become infected and cause medical problems that could take weeks or even months to heal. In the most serious case, a dog may have rabies – a viral disease that infects the central nervous system and could threaten your life if left untreated.

The personal injury lawyers at The Swain Law Firm, P.C., have decades of experience in dog bite and animal attack claims in Bucks County and throughout southeastern Pennsylvania. If you have been injured due to a pet owner’s negligence, we can help you recover money damages for your medical care and lost income, as well as pain and suffering resulting from the attack.

Get the medical attention you need after a dog bite, then contact us right away. With offices in Bensalem and northeast Philadelphia, we represent clients throughout Bucks County as well as New Jersey.

What If It’s Your Friend’s Dog?

Everyone must obey local leash laws, even friends and neighbors. Many people are afraid to bring a claim against their friend or relative after getting bitten by their dog. We handle your dog bite claim discreetly, always working through the dog owner’s homeowners or liability insurance company and relying on your guidance about how aggressively to pursue damages.

Steps To Take After A Dog Bite

  • Seek immediate medical attention – even if it seems like a minor bite.
  • Gather information from witnesses, including contact information.
  • Obtain the dog’s veterinarian records about shots, diseases, etc.
  • Don’t negotiate a private settlement with the animal’s owner.
  • Talk to an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
