Compensation for Dog Bites
Dog bites are a leading cause of injury in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year about 4.7 million people are bitten by dogs in the U.S. This astounding number drives home the fact that dog bites are a very serious and very real risk for adults and children alike.
Individuals who are bitten by dogs often require medical treatment for their injuries, leading to costly medical testing and imaging, antibiotics, plastic surgery, and other expenses. Fortunately, you may be able to recover compensation from the dog owner who is responsible for your injury to cover these costs. Contact a Michigan dog bite compensation attorney of Ravid & Associates, P.C., at 877-PET-BITE to discuss your specific case.
Awarding Compensation
While the injury and the liability of the dog owner may seem clear to the victim and others who witnessed the attack, receiving injury compensation for a dog bite can be a complex process. If the dog owner refuses to settle outside of court, the injured party may have to pursue a civil trial in order to recover damages for his or her injury.
Our Michigan dog bite injury lawyers know what it takes to successfully argue a dog bite injury case and can guide you through each step of your lawsuit. We are prepared to work hard to pursue a full judgment on your behalf that covers all of the costs of your injury, including:
- Medical and surgical bills

It is difficult for some to understand how severe a dog bite injury can be until they have witnessed or experienced a dog attack themselves. At Ravid & Associates, we have seen the damage that an aggressive dog can inflict on a person, and we want to help you through this difficult time by providing the legal representation that you need to successfully recover compensation for your injuries.
