Zelbst, Holmes & Butler - Oklahoma Personal Injury Lawyers

Oklahoma City Dog Bite Injury Attorney

If a dog bites you or your child without any provocation by you the owner of that dog is legally liable for your injuries. However, if you or your child teases a dog and you are bitten, you are unable to collect for your injuries. The number of dog bites is rising at an alarming rate.  Our firm will advise you of your legal rights.

After a dog bite it may be determined that the animal was infects.  This may require you to obtain rabies shots.   Devastating injuries or death can occur by a dog attacking you.  You may incur severe bites, require an endless number of sutures, plastic surgery, or even removal of a limb, suffer from depression, PTSD.  The terror you experience being around or near a dog can cause you to lose your enjoyment of life, by being terrified to walk or run for that fear that you may be attacked again.

In many cases, it is possible to negotiate a structured settlement to minimize the burden of taxes, particularly in cases where punitive damages might be available if the case went to trial.
