After you or your child has suffered serious injury because of a dog bite or other animal attack, do not let someone tell you that dogs in New Jersey get "one free bite." A dog's owner has strict liability and may be held responsible for harm caused by the dog. If it can be shown that the dog was provoked or that the injured person was trespassing, then there are likely to be issues of comparative negligence, assigning some of the responsibility to the injured person.
To determine where liability truly lies and how to pursue monetary compensation to cover injuries caused by a dog bite or other animal attack in New Jersey, talk to a Voorhees animal attack attorney with ample experience and a track record of successful case outcomes. Contact the Law Offices of Daniel K. Newman to schedule a free consultation if you, your son, your daughter or another close family member has been bitten or mauled by a dog.
Serious dog bites often result in injuries and losses including the following:
- Emergency and follow-up medical care
- Lost wages of the injured person or caregiver
- Scarring and disfigurement, possibly requiring plastic surgery now or at some future time
- Psychological and social costs: post-traumatic stress syndrome and/or social shunning due to disfigurement
