Let Our Dog Bite Lawyers in Deerfield Beach, FL, Seek All the Damages You Deserve to Recover
After someone else’s dog attacks you and causes injuries, you have the right to seek damages for your:
- Medical bills: You can receive reimbursement for emergency, ongoing, and future medical costs related to your injuries.
- Lost income: If you had to miss work because of your injuries or if you will miss work in the future, you can seek reimbursement.
- Pain and suffering: If the bite leaves you with injuries that cause physical pain, you can seek an amount that reimburses you. If you will have ongoing pain, you can seek payment for this as well.
- Mental anguish: If you have a fear of dogs now, are having nightmares, or are unable to sleep because of the attack, you can seek an amount for this trauma as well.
- Reduced earning capacity: If you cannot return to the same job you once worked because of the dog attack, you may be able to recover compensation to make up for your reduced earning capacity.
We Can Determine the Value of Your Deerfield Beach Dog Bite Case
The value of your case ultimately determines the amount of money you can recover. Factors such as the severity of your injuries, their impact on your life, and your ability to return to your job may impact the value of your case.
There is no average dog bite settlement amount that clients can expect to win. Such a number does not exist. The amount of damages depends wholly on the facts of the case, and each case has unique aspects to it.
Ged Lawyers will work as hard as we can to secure a fair outcome in your case. We may give you an estimate of what we think your case is worth. However, making promises about amounts you can win is unethical behavior for any Deerfield Beach dog bite lawyer.
Determining Your Legal Options After a Dog Bite in Deerfield Beach
Dog bite victims generally have a couple of legal options. These include:
- Filing an insurance claim against the liable party
- Submitting a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault party
Our team can explain more about your options and which one may be best for you when you contact us. When considering your options, you should know that:
Ged Lawyers Takes Pride in Our Negotiating Skills
One of the most important services we provide for clients is negotiating with the insurance company for them. These negotiations are important because settlement amounts for pain and suffering and mental anguish are not set in stone.
Our team uses the facts in your case to show the insurance company why you deserve the amount we are requesting. Because we work so hard in preparing for and in executing our strategy during negotiations, insurance companies rarely like to see us sitting across the negotiating table from them.
You certainly could try to negotiate with the insurer on your own without hiring our Deerfield Beach dog bite law firm. However, because insurance companies deal with cases like this every day, while you probably are going through this situation for the first time, you could be at a disadvantage. Our team’s experience may tilt the playing field in your favor.
Don’t Wait Too Long to File Your Dog Bite Lawsuit
It’s important to note that Florida Statutes § 95.11 gives victims up to two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. If we join the case too late, we could be past the deadline, so it’s important to call us as early as possible.
