While most dogs in New Jersey are well-behaved pets who enjoy the company of those who love them, these animals are not immune to irritation, anxiety, and aggressiveness. Despite being known as man’s best friend, when they lash out and bite an innocent bystander or small child wanting to play, the injuries caused can often times be devastating.
You Do Not Have to Face This Alone
At the Law Office of Peter Briskin, P.C., we understand that you may be reluctant to pursue a personal injury case because the owner is a relative, family friend, a neighbor or you fear the dog will be euthanized. This hesitation is understandable, but the price you will pay in medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional and physical trauma deserves compensation.
When you arrange for a free legal consultation regarding your case, our New Jersey dog bite attorneys can explain your rights under state law, what liability the owner holds, and the options for pursuing compensation. Many times, we will focus on negotiating your claim with the responsible party’s property insurance carrier.
These claims can be challenging, and the insurer will likely use their adjusters to minimize your damages and possibly even deflect blame onto you. New Jersey statutes use comparative liability in cases where the dog was provoked. Though this may not be your case, insurance companies will do their best to use this excuse in order to limit their exposure.
This is where our skilled attorneys with years of experience with New Jersey dog bite cases can intervene and stop these bad faith tactics. We will make sure that any compensation you receive is the maximum possible for your circumstances.
