Brooklyn Animal Attack Attorney
Dog bites can have serious consequences, including scarring and infection. If you have been bitten by someone else's dog, you deserve an opportunity to get fair compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, disfigurement and other damages.
I am Daniel A. Kalish, an experienced Brooklyn, Westchester County and Bronx dog bite attorney. Since 1986, I have helped injury victims pursue money damages from those responsible for their injuries. If you have been bitten by a dog, don't hesitate to contact me for a free consultation.
Holding Negligent Dog Owners Accountable
When people decide to bring dogs into their homes, they are responsible for making sure their pets are not a danger to others. That means taking whatever steps are necessary — including the use of fencing and leashes — to keep their dogs from biting people.
There is no "one free bite" under New York law. Even if the dog that bit you has never bitten anyone before, the owner can still be held legally accountable for your injuries.
If a dog belongs to an aggressive breed or has a history of behavior like snarling, growling, chomping, straining at its leash and chasing people, its owner has every reason to expect that it may eventually try to bite someone and needs to take steps to prevent that.
Investigating Your Case and Pursuing Your Claim
Many dog owners carry homeowners and renters insurance policies that include dog bite coverage. In order to get fair compensation from an insurance company, you will need a lawyer who is prepared to go to court to prove the causes and consequences of your injuries.
I am passionate about fighting for the rights who have been injured due to the negligence of others. To schedule an appointment to discuss your dog bite case, contact my office today.
