Experienced representation for dog bite victims.

How We Can Help

West Virginia holds dog owners strictly liable for injuries their animals cause in many circumstances. If you or a family member has been bitten or attacked by a dog, our dog bite lawyers will investigate the incident, identify all liable parties, and pursue full compensation for your injuries.

Dog bite injuries can range from minor lacerations to severe wounds requiring surgery, as well as lasting psychological trauma. We take every aspect of your damages seriously and fight to recover what you are owed.

Liability in Dog Bite Cases

Under West Virginia law, a dog owner may be held liable for injuries caused by their animal if the owner knew or had reason to know the dog had dangerous propensities, or if the owner's negligence contributed to the attack. Liability may also extend to landlords or property owners who knowingly allowed a dangerous dog on their premises. We investigate all potential sources of liability to maximize your recovery.

What Compensation May Be Available

Victims of dog bite injuries may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses including emergency care, surgery, and reconstructive procedures, lost wages, pain and suffering, scarring and disfigurement, and psychological counseling. We evaluate every element of your damages and pursue full accountability from the responsible party.
