How Can a Dog Bite Lawyer Help If My Child Was Bitten by a Dog on Public Property? When your child is bitten by a dog on public property, working with a dog bite lawyer can help you identify the level of liability of the dog owner, the property owner and other stakeholders. Dog bite lawyers can provide resources to support your child after the dog bite, ensuring access to mental health professionals and physicians to help alleviate the symptoms associated with a traumatic attack. The unique elements of dog bites on public property include: Rules on behavior Whether the property is a mall or an off-leash dog park, the property’s rules regarding access and behavior may play a role in the case. Was the dog owner abiding by set rules? Are they accusing the victim of breaking property rules? The answer to these questions should be analyzed by a dog bite lawyer. Eye witnesses Public property attacks generally have more witnesses and a greater collection of evidence. Your dog bite lawyer can coordinate witness statements in support of negotiations with the insurance company. Potential accusations or provocations It’s common for dog owners to accuse children of provoking the dog. Hiring a dog bite lawyer is the best way to fight back against baseless accusations when a stranger’s dog bites your child in a public space. Jeffrey H.
