Animal attacks can result in devastating physical and emotional trauma, especially when the victim is a child. Whether it’s a domestic dog, exotic pet, or improperly restrained livestock, the law holds owners responsible when their animals cause harm.

At FGH Law Group, we advocate for victims of animal attacks – helping them recover compensation for medical treatment, scarring, trauma, and more. Our goal is to hold negligent pet owners and property managers accountable so victims can heal and move forward.

Common Injuries Caused by Animal Attacks

The physical and emotional toll of an animal attack can be life-changing. Victims may suffer:

Puncture wounds and deep lacerations
Infection, rabies exposure, or need for rabies vaccines
Permanent scarring or disfigurement
Loss of limbs or digits in severe maulings
Fractures or broken bones from falls
PTSD, anxiety, or fear of animals (especially in children)

We work closely with medical experts and therapists to document your injuries and build a strong case for maximum compensation.

Types of Animal Attacks We Handle

Animal-related injury cases go beyond just dog bites. We take on a wide range of incidents involving:

Dog Bites or Maulings: Often the result of negligent ownership, lack of restraint, or known history of aggression.
Exotic Animal Attacks: Cases involving privately owned dangerous pets like snakes, monkeys, or large cats.
Livestock Injuries: Attacks or accidents caused by horses, bulls, or farm animals in public or unguarded areas.
Animal-Related Falls or Panic Injuries: When a person is injured by fleeing, charging, or intimidating animals.
Children Attacked by Animals: We represent families when minors are harmed due to an owner’s negligence.
Repeat Offender Animal Owners: Legal action against individuals with prior complaints or dangerous animal citations.

Our Attorneys advocate for victims of Animal attacks, providing skilled legal support from proving owner negligence to securing full compensation for injuries and trauma.

Who Can Be Held Liable in an Animal Attack Case?

Depending on the case, one or more parties may be legally responsible:

Pet Owners: For failure to leash, confine, or control their animal
Landlords or Property Owners: If they allowed a dangerous animal on the premises
Caretakers or Dog Walkers: Responsible while the animal was in their control
Businesses or Event Organizers: For allowing unsafe animal access to the public
Commercial Kennels or Boarding Facilities: When failure in supervision leads to harm

Many states, impose strict liability on owners – meaning you don’t need to prove prior aggression in many cases.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

We fight to recover full compensation for your injuries and losses, which may include:

Emergency room and follow-up medical treatment
Reconstructive surgery and scar revision
Mental health counseling and therapy
Lost wages or inability to work
Pain and suffering
Long-term disability or disfigurement
Loss of quality of life
Punitive damages (in egregious cases)
