Negotiating a Dog Bite Claim?

OUR TEAM WILL GUIDE

What to Do After Being Bitten by a Dog

  • Scroll icon

    SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION
    AND GATHER EVIDENCE

    No matter how badly you were hurt, you should go to the doctor to get examined. On the scene, you or a loved one should gather evidence to support your claim, including pictures, witness statements, medical expenses accrued later on, and lost wages.

  • Gavel icon

    REPORT THE INCIDENT
    TO LOCAL AUTHORITIES

    Check your municipality’s dog bite laws and contact the nearest animal control office. They have the authority to test the dog for rabies, issue citations against the owner and order them to muzzle the dog, and remove the dog from the area for observation.

    SPEAK TO AN ATTORNEY
    AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

    Although this may seem fairly simple, your insurance adjuster or the owner of the dog can take advantage of the fact that you don’t have an attorney. Call us so we can make sure your rights are protected and fight for fair compensation for your pain and suffering.

TIPS FOR SPEAKING TO AN INSURANCE ADJUSTER

KEEP A STEADY
TONE OF VOICE

If you still sound shaken, angry, emotional, or hurt on the phone, wait a few more days until you know you can stand your ground and fight for the compensation you deserve.

AVOID SARCASM OR
RUDE COMMENTS

Some adjusters don’t seem like they care about what happened to you; don’t take this to heart. The nicer you are, the greater your chances of your adjuster doing favors for you.

SPEAK WITH AN
ATTORNEY PRESENT

Much like being charged with a crime, anything you say to an adjuster can and will be used against you. We’ll be there to prompt you and make sure everything you say can only help your cause.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO THROUGH
THIS ALONE. LET US ASSIST YOU.

Contrary to popular belief, hiring an attorney can actually save you money in the long run. From start to finish, we will work diligently to help you seek fair compensation for your pain and suffering. We have proudly represented people throughout the Minneapolis metropolitan area, so call today.
