While the money amount of the case is very important, the following steps need to be taken first before sensible discussions of a dog bite claim’s value can be had:
- Obtain medical care at a hospital immediately.
- Call the police or the PA Dog Warden for your County.
- Photograph the injuries (do not rely on photos taken at the hospital or by your doctor.
- Call Attorney Newell @ 800-980-4842.
- Do not give any statements to the dog owners or their insurance company.
- Keep a close lookout for any signs of infection.
- Go to a hospital immediately if you believe the dog attack wound may be infected.
- Keep all of your medical appointments.
- Appear at any hearings that are scheduled if the dog owners have been charged with crimes.
- Call Attorney Thomas J. Newell when all of your care is done.
