Dog and animal attacks represent some of the most devastating personal injuries anyone can suffer. Statistics show that every year the number of persons injured increases from a bite or knockdown from an aggressive dog. Unfortunately, the majority of  these victims are children.  Dog attacks can be life-altering events that frequently cause nerve damage,  permanent scars and psychological trauma. You need to call us if you or a family member have suffered injury in dog or animal attack so we can investigate to determine if there was a violation of the Dog Law or if there was negligence or recklessness. In Pennsylvania, a dog does not get “one free bite” (regardless of what others say) before the dog owner will be held responsible. In almost all cases,  a dog owner is liable if the dog is unleashed and not under control if the dog owner was aware of the dog’s dangerous propensity to harm others.
