Dog Bite Injuries

Many of us are pet owners and have one or more dogs that we
joke are members of the family. According to The Humane Society of the United States; currently, 39
percent of U.S.
households own at least one dog. That means that:

Though most of us love dogs and treat them as our family members, there are some instances which show that not all dogs are our best friends.

While dogs can be a source of joy, and provide us with happiness, they are
still less-aware animals. They are prone to attack by nature or may strike viciously when
frightened, cornered or startled. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more
than 4.5 million Americans are victims of dog bites each and every year —many of them being innocent
children.

Are you aware that insurance adjusters or insurance companies regularly settle cases with dog bite victims or their parents for 10 to 20 percent of the real value of your dog bite injury case? Insurance adjusters are simply NOT on your side. In fact, their job is to reduce the value of your case. That’s where hiring a professional dog bite injury attorney can help you receive the proper compensation you deserve.

With our “No Recovery – No Fees” approach toPersonal Injury cases, we at Khashan Law Firm promise to represent you at no cost until we win your case. This is known as a contingency fee arrangement. If we accept your case, we will cover all of the expenses that are required for building a strong and winnable case. These expenses include paying our team of skilled dog bite attorneys, covering the costs of our paralegals and staff, costs for obtaining client medical records, veterinary records of the accused animal, hiring a commercial photographer to document the victim’s wounds, paying investigators for researching the attacking dog’s history, hiring dog bite experts if negotiations fail and filing a court case if necessary.

Interestingly, dog bite victims who attempt to negotiate their settlement with an insurance company will more often end up in the courtroom with a poor case. On the other hand, an experienced dog bite lawyer lawyer knows how to collect the evidence and present the facts and evidence in such a way that lets the insurance company have a peek at what a court trial might look like if they don’t come to an out-of-court settlement as they more clearly see the risk that a court trial might end up in a monster award (“those crazy juries….”).

It can be helpful to just explain to the animal’s owner that you have a dog bite injury attorney that handles your insurance negotiations and will be handling this unfortunate incident with the owner’s insurance company. Remember, the recovery money that we are seeking as compensation for you or your child’s injury and distress is from the dog owner’s insurance carrier, not directly from the dog owner.
