Michigan Dog Bite Attorneys
We all love our pets, especially man’s best friend. Unfortunately, dogs can be unpredictable and can cause serious and unsuspecting injuries. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs each year. Many people believe that dogs are entitled to “one free bite,” but in Michigan, that is not the law.
The early and effective pursuit of a dog bite claim is essential to maximizing a dog bite victim’s financial recovery. POWERS CHAPMAN has achieved many six-figure verdicts and settlements for dog bite victims and will look to do the same for you. Call (248) 643-6500 to speak with an attorney experienced in dog bite injuries today.
Bitten By A Dog?
Michigan is a strict liability state when it comes to dog bites. This means that if you are bitten by a dog, the owners of the dog are responsible for your injuries regardless of whether or not the dog has a history of being aggressive.
Attorneys at the Troy, Michigan law firm of POWERS CHAPMAN also understand the special relationships dog bite victims may have with the dog’s owner. Whether the dog belongs to family members, neighbors or friends, our attorneys are sensitive to preserving your relationships while aggressively negotiating with the insurance company. Some of our clients are attacked by dogs unknown to them. Our attorneys are skilled in tracking down dog owners and demanding justice for you – the victim. In some circumstances, the keeper or possessor of the offending animal may also be held responsible for the injuries a person sustains as the result of a dog bite attack even if that person was not the actual owner of the dog. In any circumstance, call to speak with a POWERS CHAPMAN attorney today.
