Dog Bite
No Boston Massachusetts Law Firm Knows More about Representing Victims of Dog Bites than the Lawyers of Parker Scheer LLP.
Attacks by Dogs
According to Massachusetts law, the owner or party in control of a dog who causes injury or death to another person is legally obligated to compensate that victim for the injuries and losses suffered in the attack. Unlike other kinds of personal injury cases which require the plaintiff to prove fault on the part of the defendant, a victim of a dog attack need only show that the injuries were inflicted by the dog (as opposed to some other cause) and did not result from the “teasing or tormenting” of the dog prior to injury. In many instances a “homeowner’s” insurance policy, held by the dog’s owner at the time of the attack, will provide coverage to the victim for the injuries and losses sustained.
Parker Scheer has extensive experience representing adults and children injured by dogs, including claims for facial scarring and disfigurement, loss of tissue, near amputation of fingers, deep puncture wounds, psychological trauma, and other related injuries and losses.
Cases handled by Parker Scheer involving serious injuries caused by dogs have resulted in substantial economic recoveries. Before selecting a law firm to handle your case, take a moment to review your case with a Parker Scheer trial lawyer experienced in the area of dog bite-related injuries. There is never a fee charged for an initial consultation, and all information will be kept strictly confidential.
