Dog Bite – Personal injury lawyer
A dog bite can have physical and financial consequences. I assess liability, medical records, and possible claim enforcement.
For Dog Bite, these points are especially important:
- ›Keeper, animal liability insurer, and witness details should be secured early.
- ›Leash use, approach, provocation, and supervision affect liability and contributory fault.
- ›Treatment, infection risk, scarring, and psychological effects should be documented.
- ›Treatment, loss of earnings, damaged clothing, and further expenses may be relevant.
The first step is to clarify: Who kept the dog, how the bite occurred, and which physical or psychological effects remain.

Mr. Lerch provided me with highly professional, calm, and dedicated support throughout my legal proceedings. I particularly appreciated his honest assessment of my case and the clear communication he maintained throughout the entire process.
