Dog Bite
A dog is considered to be man’s best friend and a loyal, affectionate companion. Dogs are often brought to public areas and other places where adults and children are present. Most people take the time to train their canines and offer nurturing and loving environments, but what happens when the animal viciously attacks someone? Who is responsible?
If you have been injured by a dog bite in Utah, contact the experienced dog bite attorneys at Christensen Law Firm, PLLC.
Even the most well trained dog can act unpredictably and attack an innocent person. There are 4.7 million people bitten by dogs each year in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Every year, 800,000 people across the United States, half of them being children, seek medical attention for dog bites. Children are commonly dog bite victims and approximately two thirds of these injuries involve the head or neck area.
The Utah dog bite attorneys at Christensen Law Firm will make sure that you are compensated for your injuries. There are deadlines as to when you can file a Utah dog bite lawsuit, so it is important that you seek legal representation immediately.
Utah has created laws that provide protection for dog bite victims and places responsibility on the dog owner for any injuries caused by the animal. In most circumstances, the dog owner will be held responsible even if he or she was unaware of the dog’s vicious tendencies. The amount of money that can be recovered from a Utah dog bite case depends on the extent of injuries and the medical care that was received.
