Pet Owners Responsibilities
We love animals too. Our law firm gives it’s time free of charge to New Jersey Aid for Animals, Inc., a charitable organization which prosecutes animal abuse and rescues, fosters, and adopts animals in distress. However, we also understand that animal owners have a responsibility to prevent their animals from injuring others. In New Jersey as in other states, when a dog (or other animal) bites someone, the owner of the dog will be held liable for the injury, absent some provocation exceptions.

 

Young Children
Pet owners have a responsibility to protect others from being attacked or bitten by their pets. They have a responsibility to protect young children who may not appreciate the danger of certain dogs or animals.  Nearly all types of dogs and animals are known to bite humans, not just Pit Bulls or German Shepherds. Unfortunately the impact of an animal attack can be devastating to you or your loved one.  We understand the hardships that you are facing and will make sure the insurance companies live up to their responsibilities.

 

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

Insurance companies do not always act in your best interest. They are in business to make money. If you are involved in a Dog Bite or animal attack accident the insurance company will try to minimize the amount they will pay you. That’s what they are paid to do. Often that means they will offer far less than you are entitled to receive, depriving you of compensation you or your family member are entitled too.  We will aggressively represent your interests and make sure you receive all of the compensation you are entitled to. We understand what you are going through.

 

WE CAN HELP

Our experienced legal team will review your case with you. We will examine the attack scene, obtain police and medical reports. We will consult with the animal and medical experts that may be needed. We will work closely with you and handle the details that may arise as a result of an animal attack. We each have been doing this for over 30 years. We know what it takes to negotiate a favorable settlement and we know what it takes to win at trial in New Jersey Courts. We will be there with you, fighting for you. Call our office to discuss with our legal staff the events of your accident, we can help. There is no cost to you unless we recover on your behalf.
