Dog Bite Lawyers

The Ramos Law Firm team is here to help you, boasting many years of experience handling vicious dog personal injury cases. Equally important, we have Dr. Joseph Ramos, an emergency medicine physician, and attorney. Our law firm cares about people just like a doctor cares for their patients.

Potential Dog Bite Injuries

The most significant risk of dog bites is an infection, especially to immunocompromised victims. You never know what diseases a dog carries that can transfer to humans. However, multiple other physical injuries can occur, including:

Broken bones
Rabies infections
Skin wounds, such as cuts, scrapes, and bruises
Damaged nerve tissues
Torn muscles
Scarring and other disfigurements
Loss of limbs

Additionally, recovering from emotional injuries can take months or years. Common issues include:

Nightmares, especially in children
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Anxiety
Lowered self-confidence, thanks to scarring and disfigurement

Steps to Take After a Dog Bite Attack

You must take particular action following a dog bite attack to protect your health and legal rights:

Leave the scene immediately. Don’t keep yourself in a dangerous situation by speaking with the canine’s owner.
Seek medical attention. Even if your injuries seem minor, adrenaline is probably pumping through your body, and thus you may not realize how serious they are until later. Seek medical attention as soon as possible to receive a diagnosis.
Contact local authorities. Whether you contact the local police, sheriff’s department, or animal control, inform the authorities of the incident. Give them the names of all witnesses, if applicable, and identifying information about the dog.
Request a copy of the official report. Once the authorities complete the official report, request a printed copy. Doing so will help your case. Additionally, gather the names and contact information of the authorities that help you.
Contact your experienced dog bite lawyer. Get in touch with our dog bite attorneys to discuss your case as soon as possible. We’ll ensure your rights remain protected and will work to secure the compensation you deserve.

National Dog Bite Statistics

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), more than 4.5 million people in the United States suffer dog bite injuries annually. More than 800,000 receive medical attention for the physical injuries sustained. That equates to 1 in 5 victims requiring prompt medical attention following a dog attack.

Further, more than half of the victims are children. Children are also far more likely to suffer severe injuries as the most common victim age group. Unfortunately, children commonly sustain injuries during everyday activities and from dogs familiar to them.

Preventing Dog Bites

Although dog attacks aren’t entirely preventable, you can take steps to reduce their likelihood. Canines bite for various reasons – sometimes, they bite in defense, while others may have an injury or illness and want to be alone. Whatever the cause, you can lower the risk of an attack in the following ways:

Don’t approach a dog you don’t know without the owner’s express permission. Even friendly-looking dogs can bite if they feel threatened. Always ask permission first. Owners know their dogs’ mannerisms – you don’t.
Avoid risky situations. Understanding when you should and shouldn’t interact with a dog is essential. For instance, avoid approaching or petting a canine if the dog isn’t with its owner, is on the other side of a fence, is growling or barking, appears anxious, or hiding.
Train your children around the family’s dogs. Explain to your children the difference between aggressive and safe play. Further, remind them to stay gentle with the family dog – no wrestling or provoking. Teaching your children how to interact with your dog appropriately allows them to remain safe around other potentially harmful canines.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I can't say enough good things about my experience working with Attorney Taylor Dickmann and Paralegal Lexi Mosher at Ramos Law. Going through a personal injury case isn't something anyone looks forward to, but both Taylor and Lexi made the process much easier from start to finish.

Taylor was outstanding to work with. He took the time to explain things, answered my questions honestly, and made sure I understood what to expect along the way. I appreciated his straightforward approach, his advice, and the time he took to walk me through the different stages of my case. I always felt he had my best interests in mind.

Lexi was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process. She was always friendly, helpful, and incredibly responsive. Anytime I reached out with a question, she was quick to get back to me and always seemed to have the answer. It was reassuring knowing I could reach out and count on her to follow through.

What I appreciated most was how easy both of them were to work with. They were professional but also personable, and I never felt like I was just another case.

I'm very grateful for everything Taylor and Lexi did for me and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing a personal injury attorney. Thank you both for everything!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I can’t say enough about Joanna DeRosia and  her paralegal, Lydia! Joanna and Lydia were professional, communicated every step of the way and made me feel like my case was their only one. (I knew it was just one of many!) I was traumatized and anxious but as soon as Joanna took my case, I knew I could trust her to work in my best interest. She’s the best!
