Long Island Dog Bite and Animal Attack Lawyer

The injuries from a dog bite are both physical and psychological. An animal you may have believed was friendly has attacked you, leaving nerve damage, scarring, and worse. The psychological damage can be even more severe, especially if the victim is a child. At our Mineola law office, we help people bitten by dogs. We work hard to obtain compensation for the significant medical bills, counseling, and the lost wages that can result from dog bite or animal attacks.

According to the law, dog owners are responsible for their dog's actions. Homeowners insurance carried by the dog owner may pay for the damages and injuries; in fact, one-third of all homeowners' insurance claims are for damages caused by dog attacks and bites. At our law office, our attorney counsels clients bitten by dogs about the legal issues that arise in dog bite cases. We will find out whether the dog owner is responsible for the attack and deal with the insurance company on your behalf. If you have suffered an animal attack or dog bite, contact us to learn how we can help you.

We Have the Knowledge to Handle Complex Issues Arising From Dog Bites

Dog bite cases can be complicated. There is a possibility that the dog owner can mount a defense against a claim by proving that the dog never harmed anyone before. Our law office has the experience and determination to counter arguments like these, asking the right questions and determining liability.

We have helped people suffering from dog bites obtain compensation for their injuries. Our clients have included children and their parents, mail carriers, relatives visiting their families, pedestrians, joggers in the park, and delivery persons. Most dog bite cases involve dogs known to the victims and most happen in a familiar place. We know how to handle both the personal and legal issues involved in a dog bite claim.

As dog owners, we understand that keeping a pet comes with responsibilities. If you have suffered a dog bite, or any type of animal attack on Long Island or in Manhattan, contact an attorney who understands the issues involved. Call Kenneth S. Feraru, Esq., to learn how we can help you obtain payment for your injuries and medical expenses.
