A dog bite can leave more than just physical scars. It can cause trauma, infection, and long-term anxiety—especially when the victim is a child.
If you or someone you love was bitten by a dog in Deer Park or the surrounding communities, we’re here to help you understand your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve. New York law holds dog owners accountable when they fail to control their pets.
These cases can happen anywhere—from a neighbor’s front yard in Brentwood to a loose dog near the Wyandanch train station. Whether it was a known aggressive animal or an unexpected attack, we know how to build a case, gather animal control records, and fight for the outcome you need to move forward.
When You Can File a Dog Bite Claim
- The dog had a history of aggression
- The owner failed to leash or restrain the animal
- You were lawfully on the property where the bite occurred
- The dog was known to have bitten or threatened others before
Even friendly dogs can cause serious injuries if not properly supervised.
Common Dog Bite Injuries
- Deep puncture wounds & lacerations
- Infections or permanent scarring
- Nerve damage or limited mobility
- Facial injuries requiring surgery
- Emotional trauma or PTSD
- Long-term fear or anxiety in children
Prompt medical treatment is important, but so is understanding your legal options.
What You May Be Entitled To
- Emergency medical care & hospitalization
- Plastic surgery or scar revision
- Physical or psychological therapy
- Lost income during recovery
- Pain & suffering
- Compensation for emotional distress
We’ll walk you through the process, deal with the insurance companies, and fight to make sure you aren’t left to cover these costs alone.
