McDonough Georgia – Dog Bite Lawyers

Dog bites are a significant concern across the United States. At The Millar Law Firm, we have been successfully representing dog bite victims in Georgia for over three decades. Our extensive experience has allowed us to secure fair and full compensation for our clients since the 1990s. We take the trauma our clients experience seriously, and this commitment is reflected in every case we handle.

If you have been bitten by a dog, it is essential to seek medical attention immediately. Even if the injury appears minor, it is important to have a doctor assess it. In some cases, dog bites can result in serious complications, even being fatal. Be sure to report the incident to the police; this will create an official record, which may be crucial if you need to pursue a civil lawsuit later.

Hiring an experienced attorney can help you navigate Georgia’s specific laws related to dog bites. The Millar Law Firm’s legal team is deeply familiar with these laws and is dedicated to protecting the rights of victims in McDonough, Georgia.

Steps to Protect Your Health and Legal Rights After a Dog Attack

If you are bitten in a dog attack, follow these important steps to ensure your health, safety, and ability to pursue compensation:

• Seek Medical Attention Immediately. This is essential for your well-being and will help document your injuries.
• Report the Attack to the Police. Reporting the incident creates an official record and can be vital to your case.
• Obtain Copies of Police Reports and Documentation. Keep a copy of any reports or other related documents, as they may be important for your claim.
• Take Photos of Your Injuries. Photographs of your injuries will serve as important evidence, particularly as injuries may heal over time, and you could “look fine” later, potentially affecting your case in court.
• Keep All Medical Records. Retain all records, including doctor’s bills, prescriptions, and any other related documents.
• Notify Your Insurance Company. Contact your insurer as soon as possible to report the incident.
• Write a Detailed Account of the Incident. Write down the details of the attack as soon as you can, including how, when, and where it occurred. This will help you when answering questions from your insurance company and is valuable if you pursue a lawsuit.
• Consult with a Lawyer Specializing in Dog Bites. An experienced legal team such as The Millar Law Firm can help you get the compensation you deserve for your injuries. 

Dog Attack Claims Can be Extremely Difficult 

If you are bitten by a dog, you may find it challenging to work with the dog’s owner. Many owners can be defensive about their pets and may refuse to cooperate. Additionally, the law does not require dog owners to carry insurance information with them, making it difficult to obtain necessary details about the owner and the animal.

Property insurance companies can also be hesitant to cooperate with dog bite victims. In such situations, hiring an attorney may be the most effective way to navigate these challenges and secure the compensation you deserve.
