How to Prove Liability

Recovering compensation after a dog attack often involves more than proving you were bitten. Insurance companies may dispute the severity of your injuries, question who was responsible, or argue that the owner had no reason to believe the dog was dangerous. Building a strong claim requires prompt action, thorough investigation, and compelling evidence.

Our legal team works to establish:

• Ownership & Responsibility: Identify the dog's owner or any party legally responsible for controlling the animal.
• Dangerous Propensities: Determine whether the dog had a history of aggressive behavior, prior attacks, threats, or other warning signs that may establish liability under New York law.
• Causation: Show that the dog attack directly caused your injuries and the physical, emotional, and financial impact you have suffered.
• Damages: Document the full extent of your losses, including medical expenses, lost wages, scarring, emotional trauma, pain and suffering, and future treatment needs when permitted under New York law.
