Bitten by a Dog? You Have Rights and We Can Help.
If you’ve been bitten by a dog, the owner can be held legally responsible even if the attack happened on private property. You have the right to medical treatment, compensation for your pain, and recovery support.

In the United States, more than 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs each year, and over 800,000 of those victims require medical attention.
Who Is Responsible for a Dog Bite?
In most cases, the dog owner is legally responsible for injuries caused by their pet. However, landlords or property owners can also be liable if they knew the dog was dangerous and failed to prevent the attack.
If a dog was not properly restrained, had a history of aggression, or the owner ignored leash laws, they can be held accountable for your injuries.
At Herbert Law Group, we investigate every detail — animal control reports, witness statements, and medical records — to build a strong case and secure your compensation.
Why Seeing a Doctor After a Dog Bite Is So Important
After a dog bite, many people think the injury isn’t serious but even small wounds can lead to serious infections, nerve damage, or long-term scarring. Getting checked by a doctor right away is one of the most important steps you can take to protect both your health and your legal case. Dog bites often cause deep punctures that may not bleed much but can trap bacteria under the skin, leading to infections like tetanus or rabies. Early medical treatment not only prevents complications but also creates a medical record that connects your injury directly to the attack a crucial piece of evidence for your claim.
At Herbert Law Group, we can help you find trusted doctors and handle your case from start to finish, so you can focus on healing while we fight for your compensation.
Emotional Recovery Matters Too
A dog bite doesn’t just hurt physically it can leave deep emotional scars that last long after the wounds heal. Victims often experience fear, anxiety, nightmares, or panic around animals, especially children.
At Herbert Law Group, we understand that true recovery means healing both your body and your mind. That’s why we help connect you with trusted therapists and emotional support resources to rebuild confidence and peace of mind.
