Your Montgomery, AL, Dog Bite Lawyers

It is important to note that in Alabama, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years. This means that you must file a lawsuit within two years of the date of the dog attack. Otherwise, you will not be able to seek compensation for your injuries at all.

Liability is a crucial element in a dog attack lawsuit as it determines who is responsible for the injuries and damages. In order to succeed in a dog attack lawsuit, the injured person must prove that the dog owner was negligent or strictly liable. 

For example, if the dog had a known history of aggressive behavior and the owner did not take necessary precautions to prevent the attack, such as keeping the dog properly confined, the owner can be held liable for the victim’s injuries. Additionally, the owner can also be held liable if they failed to properly train or supervise the dog.

Our experienced attorneys can help gather evidence to prove negligence or liability on the part of the dog owner. This may include any prior reports or incidents of aggressive behavior relating to the dog and any local laws or ordinances that the owner may have violated.

Your attorney will gather all necessary documents and evidence to construct a compelling case for maximum compensation. This includes anything from police or medical records of the incident, medical bills, witness statements, and journals detailing how the injury has impacted your life.

If the dog’s owner does not have insurance, you may still be able to recover damages through a lawsuit. You may be able to pursue compensation through the owner’s personal assets or through their homeowner’s insurance if the attack occurred on their property.

Generally, property owners have a duty to warn visitors of any known hazards on their property. However, if you were trespassing at the time of the attack, your ability to recover damages may be limited. It is important to consult with our knowledgeable legal team to understand your options.
