Dog Bite Alabama
Dog attacks can require serious medical intervention. Aside from stitches and antibiotics, victims may require reconstructive surgery and psychological support so they can move on from the trauma. Although dogs make great companions, there’s no guarantee that other owners are as responsible as they should be. An unleashed, untrained, and possibly abused dog may lash out at others – and you may experience serious injuries as a result.
Responsible pet owners have pet insurance. Pet insurance may cover dog bites, but if a dog wasn’t properly cared for, there’s no guarantee that its neglectful owners had an adequate insurance policy in the first place. You may end up dealing with your own health insurance provider to get the money you need for your continuing treatment.
Unfortunately, insurers aren’t quick to release funds. Many insurance companies are notorious for delaying payments, or denying claims completely. This can leave you empty-handed and potentially even in debt – all because of someone else’s negligence and their aggressive dog. You shouldn’t have to pay a cent, even if your insurer isn’t helping out.
There’s also the matter of lost wages. During your recovery, you may not be able to return to work. This means missed paychecks, right when you needed them most. You were relying on your income to pay for your rent or mortgage, your car, your utilities, and all of your other day-to-day expenses. But now, that income’s dried up, and the bills haven’t stopped.
Your Alabama dog bite attorney can help you get the money you need to get out of this situation. By taking legal action against an irresponsible dog owner, you and your legal team can secure some much-needed compensation to pay for medical treatment and other expenses. Your pet bite lawyer can also negotiate with insurers and make sure you’re getting paid on time, and paid enough.

Alabama Dog Bite Laws
In Alabama, the owners of dogs that bite a human are held strictly liable for any injuries that occur. The dog does not have to have a history of biting in order for the dog owner to be held responsible. If you have been bit by a dog in Alabama, we can help you seek compensation to ensure that your medical and other costs are covered.
Information About Dog Bite Cases
Although there are certain breeds of dogs that are known to be vicious, any dog is capable of biting a human and causing damage. Our law firm handles dog bite cases involving pit bulls, boxers, chow chows, Doberman pinschers, Rottweilers, German shepherds and even less aggressive breeds like poodles.
Although dogs can bite humans of every age and size, small children seem to be especially at risk for serious attacks. Due to their small size, energetic demeanor and often abrupt movements, children sometimes cause aggressive reactions out of dogs. The injuries suffered by a young child can be severe, leading to serious infection, scarring and disfigurement.
