Common Dog Bite Injuries In Middlesex County
Some of the most common injuries sustained as a result of a dog bite include disfiguration and scarring, nerve damage, and emotional trauma. If you have been a dog bite victim, after seeking medical attention, you should consult with an attorney with experience handling dog bite claims.
A Middlesex County personal injury lawyer can advise of the relevant law concerning dog bite claims and what legal action must be taken. For instance, under New Jersey law, the owner of a dog is legally responsible for all of the damages that his or her dog inflicts upon a victim due to a dog bite, regardless of whether or not the owner knew of the dog’s dangerous tendencies.
