At Andrew Pickett Law, our legal team represents individuals injured by dog bites throughout Melbourne and Brevard County. We help victims pursue compensation when negligent pet ownership leads to injuries involving aggressive dogs, unsafe property conditions, or other preventable circumstances.
Common Injuries Caused by Dog Attacks
Dog bite incidents can cause serious injuries that often require immediate medical care and long-term treatment. Victims may suffer:
- Puncture wounds and deep lacerations
- Permanent scarring or disfigurement
- Nerve damage
- Infections or rabies exposure
- Broken bones or crush injuries
- Emotional trauma and psychological distress
Children are particularly vulnerable to serious dog bite injuries, and attacks can result in significant medical costs and long-term recovery challenges for victims and their families.
Compensation Available After a Melbourne Dog Bite Injury
Victims injured in dog attacks may be entitled to compensation depending on the circumstances of the incident. Our Melbourne injury attorneys help clients pursue damages that may include:
- Medical expenses and ongoing treatment
- Reconstructive surgery or scar treatment
- Lost wages or reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma and psychological care

"I am so very grateful to have had this firm represent me. I was in a car accident a few years ago, but the car insurance company of the person who totaled my car would not replace my car, nor pay for my medical bills. We ended up going to court and because of Mr. Pickett, we won the case. Thank you so much for all you did for us!!!!"
