Dog Bite Injury Lawyer

Attacks by Dogs

According to the law of Massachusetts, the owner or party in control of a dog who causes injury or death to another person is liable to the injured victim for the damages suffered by the victim. Unlike other kinds of personal injury cases which require the plaintiff to prove fault on the part of the defendant, a victim of an injury caused by a dog need only show that the injuries that were inflicted by the dog did not result from the teasing or tormenting of the dog prior to injury. In most cases, the “homeowner’s” insurance policy will provide coverage to the victim for injuries caused by the attacking dog.

Parker Scheer has represented numerous adults and children injured by dogs, involving claims for facial scarring and disfigurement, near amputation of fingers, psychological trauma, and other related injuries and losses.

Cases handled by Parker Scheer involving serious injuries caused by dogs have resulted in substantial recoveries for our clients. Before selecting a law firm to handle your case, take a moment to review the facts with a Parker Scheer trial lawyer experienced in the area of animal attack-related injuries. There is never a fee charged for an initial consultation, and all information will be kept strictly confidential.
