Animal Attacks

Dog bites and animal attacks are usually unexpected and unfortunately result in serious personal injuries, emotional trauma, and even death in the case of a fatal attack. While pit bull, Rottweiler and Doberman pinscher attacks receive the most attention in the news, any dog can bite and, under certain circumstances, any dog, domestic animal or wild animal can become a dangerous animal. Many states, including North Carolina, have specific dog bite laws on the books that provide protection for dog bite victims and their families. Though litigation and lawsuits involving a dog bite, whether a pit bull attack, Rottweiler attack or Doberman pinscher attack, may seem relatively straightforward, the issues in a dog bite or animal attack case are exceedingly complex and often involve questions of legal liability, insurance coverage and damages.
