Dog Bites
Dogs are widely considered man's best friend. When you or a loved one is the victim of a dog attack, it is shocking and the repercussions are often felt long after physical wounds have healed. You need a skilled attorney to ensure that you are able to pay for the medical treatment needed after a dog bite injury.
Our Independence dog bite lawyer, Jennifer Benedict, has more than 15 years of experience helping victims of dog attacks get the compensation they deserve. When you are represented by her, she does a thorough investigation of your situation and provides candid advice on the best legal strategies for success. At our firm, we work effectively and efficiently because we know that you need compensation to pay for the often expensive medical treatment required after serious dog bites.
In Missouri, dog owners are strictly liable for the actions of their dogs. Many homeowners' insurance policies cover situations in which a dog has bitten someone, even if the attack occurred outside the home.
If insurance companies get involved in your case, we communicate with them on your behalf. We let you know if any settlement offers are made and offer pragmatic advice whether you should accept the offer or proceed to trial. With our experience with other dog bite cases, we know the future expenses that may arise after a dog bite and want to be sure that any settlement offer takes long-term consequences into account.
