The Benefits of Working with a Lawyer for a Dog Bite Case
We know that you might consider representing yourself after a dog bite case.
While you can do so, there are many reasons why working with a lawyer can pay off for your case. Here are some of the biggest reasons to hire an attorney from our team:
We Know Your Legal Options
Our attorneys are familiar with local and state laws about dog bites and animal control.
In Cocoa Beach, dog owners must follow certain requirements for leashing animals and can only use dog parks at certain hours, among other restrictions. (Cocoa Beach Code of Ordinances Sec. 4-20)
We can explain how to hold a dog owner accountable for a dog attack. We understand your legal options and can use the law to seek the compensation you deserve.
We Will Handle Every Detail of Your Case
An injury case may seem straightforward. But there are dozens of day-to-day and big-picture tasks involved.
To successfully seek compensation, you’ll need to:
- Collect evidence of the dog attack from police reports, photos and videos, medical records, witness statements, or surveillance camera footage
- Present the evidence to show that the dog owner is financially liable for the attack
- Argue against any challenges to your case, including claims that you provoked the dog
- Speak with insurance company representatives and lawyers over the course of many weeks or months
- Push back against low or unfair offers and negotiate the settlement you deserve
- File a lawsuit and take your case before a jury if the claims process does not produce results
- Submit important paperwork on time and completely
When you hire an attorney from our team, we can take care of all these details for you.
We Will Seek the Compensation You Deserve
Often, victims who represent their own cases may not know when an offer is unfairly low. They may accept an offer early in the process—and leave thousands of dollars on the table.
Our attorneys know how to go after the compensation you need and deserve.
Don’t worry about determining whether an offer is fair or not on your own. We can take care of this and seek every dollar available in your case.
We Work Based on Contingency
If you’re holding back from seeking legal help out of concern about cost, you don’t have to.
Our dog bite lawyers work based on contingency fees. This means you don’t need to pay us up front to get legal help. We only receive payment for our services if and when we win your case.
