Charleston Dog Bite and Animal Attack Attorney
If you suffer injury from a dog bite in South Carolina, or by an attack from any animal, you likely have a personal injury claim against the owner of that animal. The Charleston dog bite attorneys at Howell and Christmas, LLC want you to know your rights and help you make a full recovery for injuries and death caused by the negligence and intentional acts of dangerous dogs, other animals and their owners.
Dog bite victims not only suffer from the physical injuries associated with the attack such as facial and body scarring, broken bones and other traumas, but also may be forced to endure emotional and psychological damages such as fear of going outside after an attack. Our Charleston dog bite attorneys know the law in South Carolina when it comes to liability and injuries that result for an attack by a dog or other animal.
Dangerous Pets - Common pets can sometimes be a threat to your safety. Large, violent dogs can often harm people, especially small children, and you are protected under the law against these kinds of attacks. A dog owner is legally liable for bites inflicted viciously by a dog. In some cases, if you are a victim of a dog bite you can recover compensation.
Indirect Liability - Sometimes, it is even possible to recover compensation from someone other than the owner of the dog. In South Carolina dog bite cases, any person who has the dog in his care or keeping at the time of the attack may be found liable for damages. If you or someone you love has been attacked by a dog, contact an experienced Charleston dog bite attorney who can investigate the case and help you get the compensation you deserve for your pain, medical expenses and scarring.
