Mooresville Dog Bite Attorneys
Dog bite cases in North Carolina are governed by the legal concept of "strict negligence." This means that the injured person does not have to prove that a dog owner or property owner was at fault — and arguments from the dog owner's insurers that the dog was provoked will not rule out compensation for the victim. Simply owning a dog means that a dog owner has responsibility in the event of a dog attack. Homeowners' insurance often covers the victim's expenses and losses.
If you or your child or other family member was bitten by a dog or suffered any other kind of animal attack, contact us. Schedule a consultation with an experienced North Carolina dog bite lawyer at Lutzel, Broadway & Associates if your dog bite injury took place in the area of Charlotte or anywhere nearby.
Dangerous Breeds
Some breeds of dog are known to have a propensity for viciousness. This does not mean that it is illegal for people to own Rottweilers or pit bulls, but there are restrictions about how such dogs should be kept, handled and controlled.
Children Have the Most To Lose
Children are often targets in animal attacks. Whether the victim is a child, a beautiful young woman or an adult of any age, dog bites can result in serious medical problems including the following:
- Lacerations requiring stitches
- Disfigurement requiring plastic surgery to minimize scarring — sometimes months or years later
- Psychological trauma (including trauma brought about by social ostracism, ridicule and depression)
- Muscle and other tissue damage
