Dog Bite Injuries in North Carolina

Dog bite injuries can result in scarring and disfigurement to virtually all parts of the body, including the face, neck, legs, and arms. Dog bites can cause anything from eye injuries to rotator cuff injuries. We represent people who have been attacked by dogs. In North Carolina, dogs may get “one free bite." Often when a dog bites a second time, showing a propensity for violence, the dog’s owner is strictly liable. North Carolina is also a contributory negligence state—if the person who was bit can be proven to be at fault in even the slightest way, obtaining full compensation is very unlikely. These dog bite laws call for injured people to be represented by highly experienced attorneys.

Dog Bite Injuries to Children

When children are bit by dogs, the trauma is physical and emotional. We help parents on behalf of their children. Compensation for children can be used for future medical bills and counseling.
