Dog Bites

When a dog attacks a person, it is rarely a fair fight. An animal that is much larger and stronger than a human can inflict serious injuries in a very short period of time. In many cases, these injuries are severe enough to result in catastrophic injuries.

Our dog bite lawyers in Spartanburg know that dog owners owe a duty of care to others to keep their animals under control. When they fail to do so, the results can be tragic. If you or a loved one have been injured by a dog, you have the right to pursue compensation for your damages.

Our firm can help. Our team is prepared to fight for the compensation you deserve and can use our experience to help you navigate the legal process.

You May Be Entitled to Compensation for Your Dog Bite Injuries

South Carolina does not recognize the one-bite rule, which is a law that states that a dog owner is not liable for an injury caused by their dog the first time it attacks someone. Instead, the state follows “strict liability” for dog bites, which places liability on the owners of dogs who have bitten someone, whether they knew that their dog was dangerous or not.

A dog owner can be held liable for:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Punitive damages

The severity of your injuries will play a role in determining the amount of compensation you may be able to recover. You may be eligible to recover compensation for the out-of-pocket expenses you have incurred, such as medical bills and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering.
