Legal Assistance for Animal Attacks and Dog Bite Incidents in El Paso

Animal attacks can result in grave injury, disease, and even death. Dogs are the animals most commonly linked to bite attacks. In most cases, victims of attacks involving animals may have legal right to recover damages. These damages may be recovered from the animal’s owner or from another party. In order to achieve this, though, victims must team up with an experienced personal injury lawyer. The Law Office of Perry Piñón is ready to help victims in El Paso and the Southwest.

What To Do After an Animal Attack

When an animal attack takes place, it’s wise to seek medical attention as quickly as possible. This way, you’ll be able to receive proper medical treatment and assistance. From there, you should speak to a personal injury lawyer who has experience with incidents involving animals. Our law office offers free consultations so you can give us a call and we’ll let you know if you have a legal claim as well as what damages you may recover.

In order for your lawyer to work as effectively as possible, you should supply the appropriate information about the accident to Mr. Piñón. The name and phone number of the owner is a great place to start. If the attack occurred with witnesses present, then it’s important to get their information as well. It can be difficult to know what to do right after an accident but if you can gather this information, it will help the process move along smoothly.

What Your Lawyer Will Do

In most animal attack cases, the owner can be found liable for the animal’s actions. There are other cases, though, wherein other parties may be responsible for the attack. Animal keepers, parents of minors, property owners or landlords can all be held responsible for animal attacks and dog bites. It is our job to find the correct parties and hold them responsible for the animal attack.

From there, victims may be able to recover damages for a variety of reasons. Some of the most common damages victims are entitled to are for medical expenses, loss of wages, pain and suffering, and even property damage.
