North Carolina Dog Attacks and Injuries
There is no question that being attacked by a dog is a terrifying ordeal. It is rarely solely the fault of the dog, however. Too many dog owners fail to properly socialize and train their dogs, or keep them under control around other people. The result is often a dog bite that is physically and emotionally traumatic for the victim.

Helping You Recover
Children, the elderly and delivery workers suffer more dog attacks than the general population. They may be bitten or injured while trying to get away from the dog. Dog attacks can cause a range of injuries, from simple bite wounds to serious injury or disability. Many dog attack victims suffer facial scarring that requires cosmetic surgery.
Large, strong dogs can crush arm, hand, leg or foot bones with their jaws. A severe attack to the head and neck area can result in wrongful death.
We can seek compensation from the dog owner for your medical costs, pain and suffering, any lost income and perhaps punitive damages, as well. If you were bitten by a dog while you were on the job, you may also be able to collect workers' compensation benefits.
We have the experience you need to pursue dog bite cases and other injuries that occur on another party's property. Please call us at 828-848-8776 to make an appointment today with a Hickory, North Carolina, dog bite attorney
