Every year, over 4.7 million people are attacked by dogs in the U.S. Out of every six dog bites, one of the attacks will be serious enough to warrant medical treatment.

The dog owner, not the dog or the breed of the dog, is the party that can be held liable when a dog attack takes place.

Your chances of recovering compensation as a dog attack victim will depend on the city, county, and state where the injury took place, as animal and dog bite laws can vary depending on where the attack occurred.

If you reside in Louisiana and you are suffering from injuries caused by a dog or any other animal, you have to know your legal rights. A personal injury lawyer from the Bernard Law Firm can help you determine your rights and assist you with your request for compensation and your insurance claims.
