We can help you evaluate your claim and determine all possible sources of compensation from the pet’s owner or boarder for the injuries suffered.

Animal attacks are terrifying and can have life-changing consequences, especially when you consider that a large number of dog bite and animal attack victims are children. Being assaulted by a dog can result in physical pain and suffering, psychological trauma and disfiguring scars.

The emotional pain of scarring and disfigurement can be more traumatic than the physical injuries themselves. These injuries may require reconstructive surgery with extensive treatment time lines. Sadly, in the case of children cosmetic surgery may have to be put off until the child finishes growing forcing them to grow up scarred and disfigured during their most emotionally vulnerable years.

Even for adults such scarring and disfigurement may cause very real psychological damage, often affecting relationships and self-image.

If you or a family member has been the victim of an attack by an aggressive pet contact us at 612-334-3434 for a free consultation with one of our Minnesota personal injury attorneys. We can help you evaluate your claim and determine all possible sources of compensation from the pet’s owner or boarder for the injuries suffered.

Holding those responsible to account.

In Minnesota, pet owners are legally responsible for the behavior of their dogs. In most dog-bite cases, a dog’s owner will be required to provide compensation to you for:

  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Pain and suffering
  • Medical bills resulting from the attack
  • Lost wages resulting from your injuries and medical care

If you were knocked down or fell and were injured as the result of a pet’s actions and were not even bitten, the pet owner may be held responsible for your injuries.

If you would like one of our personal injury attorneys to review your dog bit or animal attack claim, contact our Minneapolis law office to arrange a free consultation and case evaluation. In most cases fees are charged as a percentage of any settlement or judgment awarded our clients. If we fail to win your case, you will not be obligated to pay any legal fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

The most important priority after a dog bite should be medical attention. Ideally, if possible, contact the owner of the dog and obtain necessary information on the vaccinations for the dog, in particular current rabies shots. File a dog bite report and seek legal representation from Osterbauer Law Firm is the next step.
Depending on the type of insurance the pet owner has, there may be different types of compensation available to cover the costs of medical treatment, lost wages, pain and suffering, and to cover the costs of mental health treatment to deal with the trauma associated with these types of attacks. Lawsuits to recover damages are also possible.
Contact the local police to report the dog attack or bite, and then contact a lawyer at Osterbauer Law Firm. Contacting the police is essential to document the incident and to start a file on the dog’s owner.
