Q: I was on my way home and an unleashed dog was crossing the road and when I swerved to miss it, I went into a ditch, causing a car accident resulting in serious injuries. Do I have a case?
A: Probably not. Unless you can locate the owner or owners of the dog that were unleashed and running wild across the road, there will be no one to pursue a recovery against. If the dog was owned by someone and they had homeowners insurance, and there is a leash law on county or city books, you may be able to recover.
A dog bite is a traumatic event resulting in serious injury. Multiple deaths are reported each year as a result of the most vicious attacks. Often a bite will result in permanent scarring, nerve damage and a significant risk of infection. Call (404) 474-0804 or toll free (866) 455-4709 today for a Dog Bite Lawyer you can trust.
