Let Our Riverdale Dog Bite Attorney Deal with the Insurance Company for You
Pursuing compensation after an animal attack means assessing your losses and pursuing damages from the owner’s insurance company. In dog bite cases, that can mean:
- The owner’s homeowners’ insurance, which may not cover certain breeds
- The owner’s pet liability policy, if applicable
If neither of these policies apply, we can also help you take legal action against the animal owner directly. To identify the right avenue for compensation, we will:
- Clarify Georgia’s dog bite laws
- Investigate any applicable coverage
- Assess your recoverable damages
- Obtain any animal control records
- Handle all case-related communication
- Answer your legal questions and concerns
- Provide ongoing updates on your case
- Negotiate a favorable monetary settlement
- Represent you in court if necessary
With multiple decades of combined experience, our team of attorneys knows how to build a strong case and provide easy, stress-free claim filing. Leave the hard work to us so you can focus on getting better.

Types of Damages Dog Bite Victims Can Pursue in a Claim for Compensation
When we represent you, we create a detailed list of your recoverable damages. Every injury claim and client are different, so we clarify your specific damages and their individual and collective totals. Your compensable damages can include:
- Medical bills: Ambulance, emergency care, hospital admissions, assistive medical devices, surgery, and future medical care to treat disfiguring injuries.
- Income loss: Full- and part-time wages, business losses, freelance, consultation, hard-to-prove income sources, and future earning ability.
- Property damage: Property repair cost, replacement estimates, and diminished value.
- Non-economic damages: Disfigurement, impairment, physical pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and diminished quality of life.
- Wrongful death damages: Funeral, cremation, burial, loss of financial and familial contributions, and loss of consortium, care, companionship, and guidance.
Accurately assessing your compensation is crucial since you cannot request additional, even legitimate, damages once your settlement is finalized. Our legal team will assess and document your damages to maximize your financial recovery.
Georgia’s Statute of Limitations Limits Your Time to File a Dog Bite Lawsuit
Dog bite victims generally have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit, according to O.C.G.A § 9-3-33. While the statute of limitations is a mandatory part of your injury claim, it can be hard to meet since it can fluctuate.
If the victim of the dog bite was a minor, the statute of limitations tolls—or pauses—until their eighteenth birthday. Other factors could also cause a fluctuation, so the best way to ensure your lawsuit is filed on time is to let our lawyers handle it for you. We will ensure your lawsuit is filed on time to meet all applicable deadlines.
