The Dog & Animal Bite Lawyers

We are committed to helping our clients through every step of the process by being available to answer any questions.

At The Bendinelli Law Firm, we proudly assist clients with all types of personal injury cases.

Every year in the United States, more than five million people are injured by dogs. Over one million of those people require medical attention. Not every dog bite or attack is by a Pit Bull or a dog that is considered dangerous. Dogs from different breeds are responsible for serious injuries to people. In our office, our Denver personal injury attorney team has seen cases involving almost every breed of dog and can help with your case. If you or a loved one was attacked by someone’s pet, contact our experienced dog bite injury lawyers for a free consultation.

At the Bendinelli Law Firm, PC, our attorneys can help. Call us today for a free and confidential case evaluation. Let us get to work and help you get the compensation you need to recover from a serious injury.

Types of Injuries Caused by Dog Bites

While many dog bites only cause minor injuries, when a bite breaks the skin it has the potential to cause serious, life-altering injuries, including:

  • Puncture wounds, lacerations, and abrasions
  • Eye, nose, and other face injuries
  • Torn ears
  • Infections
  • Broken bones
  • Nerve damage
  • Head injuries
  • Back or neck injuries
  • Spinal injuries
  • Scars and disfigurement
  • Rabies

Compensation Available for Dog Bite Victims

If you or a loved one has been bitten by a dog, there may be several types of compensation available. Our dog bite lawyers will investigate what happened and want to secure the following damages:

  • Medical bills for hospitalizations, prescription medicines, and surgery
  • Lost wages, if your injuries caused you to miss time from work
  • Future medical expenses and/or lost earning capacity, if you are permanently disabled
  • Pain and suffering, both physical and mental

An experienced dog bite injury lawyer can give you a better idea of the potential value of your claim.

Contact an Experienced Colorado Dog Bite Injury Lawyer

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury caused by a dog bite or attack you should contact our firm today for a free case evaluation. If you do not recover, there will be no fee. Any dog bite that has caused you to seek medical attention is a serious legal matter.

Speak with an Attorney Right Away

While you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, hiring an attorney as soon as possible is very important. In the days and weeks after an accident, witnesses’ memories get hazy, evidence disappears, and insurance companies implement strategies to devalue claims. In fact, once they are alerted that you may be injured, insurance companies are notorious for calling and offering a medical settlement amount that is far less than you need to recover from your injuries.

Hiring an attorney will help in a number of ways. At the Bendinelli Law Firm, PC, we can:

  • Connect you with medical experts to get a full understanding of your injuries
  • Help put together a treatment plan to make sure you get the medical care you need to recover
  • Handle all interactions with the insurance companies to make sure they don’t take advantage of you
  • Gather all necessary evidence and documentation to build the strongest case possible
  • Negotiate a fair settlement from the insurance companies
  • Take them to trial if they don’t treat you fairly

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need a Lawyer After a Dog Bite Injury?

In most cases, you only need a lawyer after a dog bite if you or a loved one has suffered injuries. In order to make sure the insurance company does not take advantage of you, it is always advised to hire an injury lawyer who will try and maximize the settlement amount offered by the insurance companies.

How much is my dog bite case worth?

The value of a case is different in every situation. The amount of settlement money offered by the insurance company should account for hospital bills past, present and future, loss of income from inability to work, pain and suffering, and other factors. Generally speaking, the more serious the injuries one has suffered, the more value a case has.
