Holding Dog Owners and Insurers Accountable for Dog Bite Injuries
Most dog owners are caring, responsible people who love their animals. Good owners take precautions to protect the safety of their pets, but also the safety of others who are around their pets. Unfortunately, not all dog owners take this responsibility seriously, which may result in dangerous dog attacks. While dogs cannot be held accountable for their actions, an owner who fails to restrain a dangerous pet can be held liable for the harm the dog has caused.
Medical insurance may cover minor dog bite injuries, but the costs of prolonged or severe attacks can quickly spiral out of control. Unfortunately, insurance companies are often unwilling to pay for the total costs of a dog bite and may be unfairly pressuring you to settle for an amount that doesn’t begin to cover all of your losses. At GriffithLaw, our Nashville dog bite lawyers can get you the insurance payment you are owed and determine whether the dog owner could be held responsible for your injury costs.
Our Nashville dog bite lawyers can help you get the payments and reimbursements you need for:
- Medical costs
- Permanent effects
- Property damage
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Injuries to children
- Wrongful death
Tennessee dog bite laws require all dogs to be kept under reasonable control and be prevented from running at large in public areas. If the dog owner violates either of these duties, he can be liable for any injuries the dog causes, regardless of whether the dog has shown any dangerous behavior in the past.
