Who pays the claim in a dog bite case?
If you've suffered injury because of a dog bite incident, it's important to find out the owner or the keeper of the dog and it is that person or persons that are responsible for your injuries. Oftentimes can be resolved with the homeowner's insurance company for the homeowner or the keeper of the dog.
There may be rental coverage that would provide coverage for the owner or keeper of the dog. Ultimately, if there is no insurance coverage there, you do have a cause of action against the owner or keeper of the dog and it's gonna depend on what types of monies are available to them to compensate you for your injuries.

What is a dog bite case award based on?
When someone suffers an injury due to a dog bite incident whether it's a child or an adult, there are several different components to that injury. There are the medical bills that are incurred. There are the physical wounds of scars that are incurred. There are also the emotional scars or trauma. Oftentimes with children, especially with children there's an emotional element to the claim involving nightmares. A fear of dogs. A fear of being around dogs.

What should happen to the dog that bit me?
If you've been involved in a dog bite incident, it's important to provide the information to the local police, to the local animal control; because that dog may be infected with a number of different diseases, including rabies. That dog needs to be quarantined and tested to assess what your injury is and assess what treatment you might need within the weeks immediately following the incident. That's the most important thing following a dog bite, and then ultimately the future treatment that you need because of any scarring or emotional elements that are involved with that particular claim.

What's the #1 misconception people have about dog bite injuries?
The number one misconception in the state of Massachusetts involving dog bite attacks is who's going to pay the claim, who's going to compensate you for your injuries and often times there is no insurance coverage available. Either the specific owner did not involve the insurance company or fill out the documents on their insurance application involving the dog or notifying the insurance company that they owned the dog; that may allow the insurance company to deny the claim. At the end of the day you may be left pursuing the owner of the dog personally to compensate you for your injuries. My name's Kevin McCullough with the law offices of Mazow and McCullough.

If I have been hurt by a dog, but not bitten, do I still have a case?
In the state of Massachusetts, dog owners and dog keepers are responsible for their dogs. There is case law in Massachusetts in that if you are not actually attacked or bitten by a dog, but you are injured because of a dog, you may still have a claim. For example, if a dog gets away from its owner or its keeper and it jumps on top of you or knocks you to the ground, and you suffer injuries because of that, you have a potential claim or potential cause of action for your injuries.

You don't have to be bitten by a dog to be injured by a dog. If a dog attacks you, wrestles you to the ground, or scratches you or hurts you in any other way, you can still bring a claim against the dog owner or the person that's in control of the dog for failing to maintain control of that dog.

What's the #1 mistake people make after a dog bite attack?
Because most dog bite attacks are done by a dog that a person does not know, the number one mistake that people make is to not get the name of the owner or the person that's in control of that dog. Once that dog is taken away from the scene, if you don't have the name of the dog, or the registration number of the tag, or the person that's in control or owns that dog, there's going to be no way you're going to be able to make a claim for the damages that come from that.

What if I can't identify the dog that bit me, do I still have a case?
If you are involved in a dog bite incident, it is very important to find out the actual dog that bit you or injured you and it is equally important to find out who the owner of that dog is, who the keeper of that dog was at the time of the incident. That only allows you to gather that information to go forward to present that claim. But if you don't know who the owner of the dog was at the time of the incident, or the keeper of the dog was, or in fact, which dog bit you, you may not have a claim. my name is Kevin McCullough with the law offices of Mazow and McCullough.

Do I have a stronger dog bite case with certain kinds of dogs?
There are certain types of breeds that are considered to be the more dangerous kinds. The Rottweilers and the pit bulls. Those dogs are more likely to cause more significant harm to you because of the manner in which they attack and the manner in which they bite. There is going to be, most likely, more damage to you as a result of being bitten by one of those dogs. Therefore the compensation would likely be higher. My name is Robert Mazow.
