Who pays for injuries from an animal attack? How will my neighbor pay for my child's injury from a dog bite?
Lawyers at our Philadelphia personal injury law firm, Metzger & Kleiner, can handle your claim directly with the insurance company. Your family will not have to negotiate with your neighbor. Homeowner's insurance usually includes a personal liability provision, covering injuries caused by the homeowner's dog.
Pit Bulls, Rottweilers and Akitas are considered dangerous dogs. Attorneys at our firm are familiar with special ordinances and laws regarding these breeds. In some cases the animals, by nature aggressive, are actually trained to be vicious. The breeds are responsible for far too many attacks that result in serious injury, permanent disfigurement, facial scarring or wrongful death.
In addition to dog bite injuries, personal liability insurance typically covers injuries caused when an unleashed dog jumps and knocks a person down and injuries caused by other dangerous animals.
Personal injuries caused by horses include horse bites, brain or back injuries to a rider thrown from a horse, or injuries from car accidents due to the owner's failure to control or secure the horse.
In the case of any claim involving an animal attack or dog bite, lawyers at Metzger & Kleiner will identify all possible sources of payment for medical expenses, scarring, lost wages and pain and suffering.
Our attorneys represent clients in insurance negotiations and state and federal trial and appellate courts throughout Pennsylvania, including Bucks County, Montgomery County, Chester County, Delaware County, Philadelphia County, Monroe County, Lackawanna County, Lehigh County and Northumberland County.
