New York City residents are becoming more adventurous in the animals they select for pets. In addition to the traditional dog or cat, residents have domesticated chimpanzees, lions, and other exotic animals. While it maybe exciting and exhilarating to own such a pet, questions will arise when the animal attacks a human. Why was the animal in the home? Did the animal have diseases? Who is liable for the injuries? At the Law Offices of David J. Hernandez & Associates, our attorneys work to answer these questions and recover full compensation on behalf of clients injured by dog bites or other animal attacks.

If you have been bitten or attacked by an animal, you may have a liability claim to recover compensation for your injuries. Contact the injury attorneys at the Law Offices of David J. Hernandez & Associates to discuss your case.
