What Compensation Can You Get After a Dog Bite?

If you’ve been bitten by a dog, you may be entitled to several forms of compensation — especially if the owner was negligent.

Types of Damages

  • Medical bills
  • Plastic surgery or rehab
  • Lost income
  • Pain and suffering
  • Scarring or disfigurement
  • Emotional distress

Insurance companies may try to downplay your injuries. A lawyer can help calculate the full value of your claim and fight for a fair settlement.
