Raleigh Dog Bite Personal Injury Lawyer

If you have been injured as a result of a dog bite or animal attack, contact the personal injury attorneys of Maginnis Law, PLLC. Injuries from dog bites and animal attacks are often physically and emotionally traumatic, and, in many cases, lead to permanent scarring. Unfortunately, proving the liability of a dog owner can be difficult under existing North Carolina law. As a result, insurance companies are often reluctant to make fair settlement offers for dog bite personal injuries.

North Carolina law provides that an injured party in a dog bite or animal attack case must prove that (1) the animal was dangerous, vicious, mischievous, or ferocious and (2) that the owner or keeper knew or should have known of the animal’s vicious propensity, character, and habits. In some cases, the animal’s breed alone may be sufficient to put the owner on notice of its vicious propensity. In other cases, you may find yourself in a contentious factual battle over what the owner knew or did not know in regard to his or her dog’s character. However, if you are successful in proving your claim, you may be entitled to significant compensation, including damages for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
