In Pennsylvania, dog owners are not automatically responsible for injuries caused by their animals. If you are the victim of a dog attack, you will likely need a lawyer's help to prove dog owner negligence.
At the law firm of McCarthy Weisberg Cummings in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, our attorneys have more than 30 years of combined experience standing up for the rights of dog bite victims. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case and answer your questions.
Compensating the Victims of Dog Bites
Dog attacks, especially those of dangerous breeds such as pit bulls, can inflict devastating injuries on the victims. Many victims are children, who may be left with physical and emotional scars.
While the homeowners insurance of the animal owner typically covers damages from dog bite injuries, insurance companies will not pay damage claims willingly. To recover compensation, the victim has to prove that the owner knew the animal had a propensity to bite and failed to exercise reasonable care.
Our lawyers are qualified to handle dog bite claims because we have experience representing insurance companies. Our lawyers know how insurance companies defend personal injury cases, which enables us to be effective advocates for injured people.
