Alabama Dog Bite Lawyer

Dog Bite Claims and Lawsuits

A dog bite or animal attack of any kind may be a traumatic experience for the victim, not just due to physical injury but on an emotional level as well. A person viciously attacked by a dog may forever experience an extreme wariness of dogs or a fear of the outdoors. In the wake of a serious dog bite injury in Alabama, it is important to weigh your options in taking legal action against the dog owner in order to recover financial compensation for the injuries you have experienced.

Tailor-Made Legal Counsel for Alabama Dog Bite Claims

Many dog bite cases involve situations where the owner of the dog is a neighbor, friend, family member or acquaintance. In cases like this, the victim may want to make sure that he or she does not bankrupt the dog owner or result in the dog being put down for its actions. At the Law Offices of Timothy A. Hughes, we will talk to you about what you have gone through and what goals you have in taking legal action. Many dog bite claims are covered by homeowners' insurance policies, and we can work to ensure that there is no animosity between you and the dog owner and that the dog's life is protected, if that is what you want.

On the other hand, if this is a particularly vicious or dangerous dog, or the dog owner was acting maliciously and persuaded or commanded the dog to attack, this may be grounds for additional damages and other legal remedies. By addressing your unique needs, an experienced lawyer can work to help you reach the outcome you most desire.
