Frequently Asked Questions
Not automatically — liability generally depends on whether the owner knew or should have known the dog could be dangerous, and the specific facts of the incident. An attorney can evaluate your case and explain how the law applies.
You can still pursue a claim, typically through the owner's homeowner's or renter's insurance policy. Many clients worry about "suing a friend," but in practice the claim is handled by the insurance company, not out of the owner's pocket.
Georgia law sets a deadline for filing injury claims, so it's important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after the incident to avoid missing it.
Seek medical attention, photograph your injuries and the scene, get the owner's contact and insurance information if possible, report the incident to animal control or local police, and avoid giving a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
Most dog bite claims are resolved through negotiated settlement, but our attorneys prepare every case as if it may go to trial so the insurance company knows we won't accept a lowball offer.
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and we only get paid if we recover compensation for you.
