Pursuing Compensation After a Dog Bite
When a dog owner’s negligence leads to your injury, Georgia law gives you the right to pursue damages for everything you have been through. At Sweet James, we work to recover full compensation available to you under the law.
Compensation in a dog bite case may include:
- Medical expenses: Coverage for all costs related to your treatment, including emergency care, surgeries, wound care, medication, and follow-up appointments
- Future medical costs: Compensation for ongoing treatment you will need down the road, such as physical therapy, reconstructive surgery, or mental health counseling
- Lost wages: Reimbursement for the income you lost while recovering from your injuries and unable to work
- Loss of earning capacity: Compensation if your injuries have permanently affected your ability to perform your job or earn a living at the same level as before
- Pain and suffering: Damages that reflect the physical pain and discomfort you experienced as a result of the attack and your recovery
- Emotional distress: Compensation for the psychological impact of the attack, including anxiety, PTSD, depression, and fear that affects your daily life
- Permanent scarring and disfigurement: Damages for visible, lasting catastrophic injuries that affect your appearance and self-confidence
- Loss of enjoyment of life: Compensation for the ways your injuries have prevented you from participating in activities and experiences that mattered to you before the attack
Georgia Dog Bite Laws and Your Rights
Georgia follows a modified version of the “one bite rule,” which means a dog owner can be held liable if they knew or should have known their dog had dangerous tendencies. This knowledge can be established in several ways, including prior aggressive behavior, a history of biting, or the owner’s failure to properly restrain or contain the animal.
In addition to this rule, Georgia law also allows victims to pursue claims based on general negligence, such as when an owner fails to comply with local leash laws or allows a known aggressive dog to roam freely.
Remember, insurance companies are for-profit businesses that aim to maximize their profits. That’s why it’s important to partner with Sweet James as soon as possible. Having an experienced dog bite attorney in Georgia on your side may help you during this difficult time.
