Dog bite cases often involve disputed facts about how the incident occurred and whether the owner had prior knowledge of the animal’s behavior. Georgia law requires a showing of negligence, which may involve prior aggression, leash law violations, or failure to secure the animal. Documenting injuries, identifying the owner, and securing witness statements early can be critical.

Before founding this firm, I worked on the defense side of personal injury litigation, gaining insight into how insurers analyze liability and value in cases involving animals. I now use that experience to position claims effectively and apply pressure from the outset.

Recoverable damages include medical treatment, cosmetic procedures, psychological trauma, wage loss, and pain and suffering. Homeowners or renters insurance policies are often involved, and coverage positions can vary depending on the facts.

I handle these cases personally and maintain direct contact with each client throughout the process. Dog bite claims are taken on a contingency fee basis—no legal fees are owed unless compensation is obtained.

If you’ve been bitten or attacked by a dog in Georgia, fast documentation and legal direction can be key to protecting your claim.
