Dog Bites

Owners Who Don't Control Their Dogs Can Cause Injuries

When a dog attacks, you could suffer both physical and psychological injuries. Scarring and fear of dogs may only be the start of your damages. At The Law Office of Michael P. Carestia, LLC, in Atlanta, Georgia, we hold pet owners accountable for causing dog bite injuries.

The simple act of leashing a dog can prevent injuries and tragedy from occurring. When pet owners fail to control their animals, people often get hurt. If you have suffered a dog bite injury, contact us at 404-395-2524.

A Sudden and Violent Dog Attack

It can come out of nowhere. You may be walking on a sidewalk or in a park. Without notice, an unrestrained and dangerous dog attacks. A peaceful stroll is now pure chaos. It's often difficult to remember much about what was happening right before the dog attacked, but the more information you can recall, such as the existence of possible witnesses, the better off your case may be.

The Need for a Thorough Investigation of the Dog Bite

Investigating your dog bite claim with great attention to detail means that we will get to the facts. Has the dog attacked before? Did the owner have control of the dog at any time? Did the owner know of any vicious propensities of their pet? Attorney Michael P. Carestia, a former insurance defense attorney, helps answer these questions while you focus on recovering.

Holding Pet Owners Accountable for Dog Bite Attacks

Leash laws are in place, requiring dog owners to keep their pet restrained. If a dog is not on a leash and attacks someone in a common area, the owners are likely liable for the injuries. At The Law Office of Michael P. Carestia, LLC, we will ensure that you are compensated based on the physical and mental damage that you have suffered.
