Not all pet owners are committed to training their dogs to act appropriately around other people. When dogs bite people, they can cause severe injuries, ranging from puncture wounds from teeth or claws to severe lacerations. Deep punctures may even sever arteries, tear muscle tissue, or cause other damage. In addition, many of these injuries will cause extensive scarring or disfigurement that may require plastic surgery and other considerable medical treatment. Tragically, in many cases children are the victims of dog bites due to their smaller size and lack of familiarity with animals.

Hernandez & Associates will work to recover full compensation on behalf of clients injured by dog bites or other animal attacks. Contact our law firm to discuss your case, or your loved one's case.
