Dog Bite Lawsuits Dover, DE

Can I sue in Delaware if a dog bites me?

You can sue for a dog bite in Delaware. Under Delaware law, dog owners are often held strictly accountable for their pets' injuries. This means that if a dog attacks or bites someone, the owner may be held liable for the victim's injuries, even if the dog has never previously displayed aggressive behavior. You do not need to prove that the owner knew the dog was dangerous; all you need to show is that the dog caused your harm and that you were lawfully present when the attack occurred. If you have been bitten, you may be able to recover compensation for medical bills, lost pay, pain and suffering, emotional anguish, and permanent scarring or disfigurement. It is critical to document your injuries, notify local authorities, and get medical assistance straight away. The Delaware statute of limitations allows you to initiate a personal injury claim two years after the bite occurred. Working with an expert Delaware dog bite lawyer, such as The Sharma Law Firm, can help you protect your rights and seek the most compensation available.

How much does a dog bite lawsuit cost on average?

The worth of a dog bite lawsuit varies greatly based on the severity of the injuries and the circumstances surrounding the attack. Dog bite settlements in the United States vary from $30,000 to $100,000 on average, but certain instances can result in substantially higher compensation when victims sustain catastrophic or permanent damage. In Delaware, the amount of medical care required, lost pay from missed work, scars or ugliness, emotional anguish, and any long-term repercussions such as nerve damage or disability all have an impact on the value of a dog bite claim. Children frequently earn greater settlements as a result of long-term emotional and physical injury. Insurance coverage is also important, as the majority of dog bite claims are compensated through homeowners' insurance policy. However, if the dog owner is uninsured or the insurance rejects the claim, a personal injury lawsuit may be required to seek damages. Our Dover dog bite attorneys at The Sharma Law Firm meticulously review every detail of your case to ensure you receive fair and complete compensation.
