Recoverable Medical Bills and Other Economic Damages
The medical attention you require after a dog bite starts immediately and can continue with long-term treatment. Your compensation request can include all of the following:
- Emergency treatment at the scene
- Emergency room fees and costs
- Hospitalization and follow-up care
- Rehabilitation and therapy expenses
- Future costs of scar removal
In addition to medical care, you can also seek other economic damages, including lost wages, lost earning ability, and property damage or destruction.
Recoverable Non-Economic Damages
The costs of treating your physical injuries are only one form of compensation you can recover. Your dog bite lawyer can also demand that the animal owner compensate you for your non-economic damages, such as:
- Emotional distress
- Diminished quality of life
- Mental anxiety
- Pain and suffering
- Physical disability
- Physical disfigurement
These intangible damages can be hard to prove without legal representation. Our Newton dog bite attorneys will collect proof of their monetary value. We can also collect witness statements, medical records, and other proof of the severity and costs of the dog bite or attack.
Let Our Newton Dog Bite Injury Attorneys File Your North Carolina Lawsuit on Time
We resolve most personal injury claims with a settlement. However, you should still ensure you file your lawsuit on time to preserve your right to go to court if we cannot reach a settlement agreement. In North Carolina, that generally means you have:
- Three years from the injury date to file a personal injury lawsuit, according to G.S. § 1-52
- Two years from your loved one’s date to file a wrongful death lawsuit, according to G.S. § 1-53
When we manage your case, we will file your lawsuit on time, including identifying any potential changes to the deadline if the dog bite victim was a minor.
What You Need to Know About North Carolina’s Dog Bite Laws
Another North Carolina law that could affect your injury claim is G.S. § 67-4. It defines a “dangerous dog” and explains the responsibilities of their owners. In addition to your civil action, the dog’s owner could face criminal charges for its animal’s behavior.
If your incident was the dog’s first biting incident, it could make recovering damages challenging. However, our legal team will help you navigate legal complexities and fight for the financial compensation you deserve.
Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to excellence in legal representation at no upfront cost. Our law firm will accept your case on a contingency fee basis, meaning it will cost you nothing upfront or out of pocket to get legal guidance right from the start.
