Dog Bite Attorney

Here are some of the ways an attorney with experience can help you fight your case and win a fair compensation

1. Investigate and collect evidence; Our experienced team of personal injury attorneys at The Representatives gather evidence to strengthen the case by investigating the police report and video or photographs of the crash scene and by contacting any relevant witnesses to the accident. This would be helpful later to receive the best possible compensation.
2. Negotiate With the Insurance Company; The insurance company’s primary goal is to negotiate with the victim to receive the lowest possible compensation. Our experienced Attorneys act as your representative and negotiate a fairer compensation directly with the insurance company. Call now at (888) 910-REPS (7377) or book a free consultation now.
3. Fight for Your Right Through Litigation Litigation is the last resort generally, but our team of personal injury attorneys will prepare your case and appear before a Judge to make sure you’re well compensated.

• The size and the breed of the dog
• The extent of your injuries
• The medical cost of treatment

you fail to register a claim within four years of the date of the dog attack, you’re officially time-barred as per the laws.

Yes.

In the state of Utah, the courts could find you to be negligent and reduce the number of damages.
However, the chances are rare as most people do not intentionally annoy the dog, resulting in dog bites. You can even claim if the dog does not bite you, but the attack results in injury.
Your percentage of fault lowers the amount of compensation you get. If a jury awards compensation of 100,000$, and your fault has been assessed to be 30 percent, you’ll be awarded 70,000$ in compensation.
Subsequently, if your fault is assessed to be 50 percent or above, you cannot claim damages in Utah.

When an aggressive dog injures or kills your dog, you are eligible to file a lawsuit against the owner of that dog.
There is one exception: if your dog enters the dog owner's land without permission and the attacking dog is surrounded by a fence or other type of enclosure, the attacking dog is not responsible for your dog's harm or death.
