Dog Bites
No Fee Unless We Recover for You
In Maryland and the rest of the United States, dogs are considered to be man’s best friend. However, they also have a propensity to attack or bite their human counterparts, causing serious injuries. If you suffered an injury after being bitten by a dog, you may be eligible to recover financial compensation in a personal injury lawsuit.
At Anthenelli, Phoebus & Hickman, LLC, we are committed to helping our clients make the best recovery possible from injury and hold those who caused their injuries accountable through the legal system. With decades of combined experience, our Salisbury personal injury attorneys can thoroughly review your case and determine all of your available legal options to build an effective and personalized case strategy just for you.
According to state law, dog owners can be held “strictly liable” for all injuries and other damages arising from the dog’s aggressive actions and behavior. Strict liability means that no negligence or any type of fault on the owner needs to be demonstrated or shown.
In most cases, when a dog attacks or bites someone in Maryland, it establishes a “rebuttable presumption,” meaning that the owner knew or should have known that the dog had vicious or dangerous propensities. Dog owners must prove that they did not have any knowledge in order to avoid being held liable for injuries or damages.
On the other hand, dog-related injuries can also be considered under Maryland’s negligence law. Under this rule, the injured individual needs to show that the owner’s “lack of reasonable care” caused the dog bite in order to recover damages for a dog bite.
Our Salisbury personal injury lawyers can investigate your injury, collect evidence, and negotiate with insurance adjusters. Do not risk protecting your rights and best interests without experienced legal help.
