NYC DOG BITE LAWYERS
Under New York law, pet owners can be held liable for their dog’s behavior. This means that if a dog bites you, under the right circumstances, the owner is liable for compensating you for medical bills, lost earnings and other financial losses, and pain and suffering.
In cases of gross negligence on the part of the dog owner, you may be able to obtain significant punitive damages as well.
WORKING WITH THE RIGHT LAWYER IS CRUCIAL IN CANINE OR PET INJURY CASES
If you or your child has suffered a dog bite, don’t assume that everything will be okay. Dog bites can cause long-term medical damage and emotional trauma, particularly among children.

HOW TO EFFECTIVELY HANDLE DOG BITE INJURY CLAIMS IN NEW YORK
Gather the names and contact information from all available witnesses.
Go to a doctor and get your injuries evaluated. Dog bites often take days or weeks to become infected or turn into a serious medical problem.
Don’t negotiate a private settlement on your own.
You won’t know the full extent of your injuries until you have attained maximum medical recovery.
If you accept $1,000 in a private settlement, you may give up your options for obtaining the full amount you need.
Don’t be afraid to file a premises liability claim against your friend or relative.
Many dog bites are from animals large or small that are owned by neighbors, friends or relatives.
In most cases, the settlement will come from the property owner’s homeowner’s insurance.
Our NYC dog bite injury lawyers will handle your case with compassion and discreetness, seeking every available dollar from available insurance sources.
Don’t let your dog bite injury cost you twice. Having the right lawyer at your side can make a significant difference in the outcome of your claim.
At Greenstein & Milbauer, LLP, our personal injury attorneys know how to translate damages into dollars insurance adjusters can understand. Our legal team is committed to helping you recover compensation for any pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages and other related expenses.
ALL DOGS CAN BITE, BIG OR SMALL!
Never assume that because a dog is small, his propensity to bite is lessened, or that small dog bites result in less injury than those from a large dog.
Any animal bite has the potential to cause physical damage, such as scarring, nerve damage or dangerous infection.
And a dog bite can cause significant emotional and mental trauma to the victim, both children and adults.
Most bites involving small dogs occur in the home or place that’s familiar to the victim.
Bites from small size dogs can include favorite breeds like:
• Dachschunds
• Chihuahuas
• Jack Russell Terriers
• Cocker Spaniels
• Beagles
If you’ve been injured by a small dog, you have the same rights as a victim of a large dog attack. We can help you get the proper compenstion, no matter the size of dog, or the type of injury.
