Types of Injuries

Dogs are cherished pets for many individuals and families, but even the friendliest breeds can be unpredictable. A dog bite can cause very serious injuries, especially to children. In fact, dog bites are one of the leading causes of childhood injuries.

At Hagelgans & Veronis, we represent people who have suffered the following injuries in a dog bite attack: 

• Scarring
• Skin tears
• Puncture wounds
• Crushed bones
• Infections

Dog bite victims often suffer scarring to the face, neck, and arms. The emotional impact of scarring can last a lifetime, as victims are reminded of the attack every time they look at their scars. Multiple reconstructive and plastic surgeries may be necessary to repair the damage.
Our attorneys understand the physical as well as the emotional impact of scarring, and work to obtain compensation on behalf of our clients to fully compensate them for their injuries.

Holding Dog Owners Responsible

Whenever a person owns a domesticated animal, he or she has the responsibility to keep it under control. Although many animal attacks involve dogs, they also can involve other domesticated animals.

No matter what the cause of the accident, Pennsylvania state law is clear: Those injured by a dog can seek damages for medical and other expenses. Our lawyers provide experienced legal representation to anyone injured by a dog bite, and discuss the facts of your case.

At Hagelgans & Veronis, we offer risk-free representation to clients bitten by dogs or other domesticated animals. If we don't recover compensation for your injuries, you owe us no attorney fees or any other expenses.
