WHY CHOOSE US ・ DOG BITE CLAIM SPECIALISTS
Seek immediate medical attention, even for seemingly minor bites. Report the incident to local animal control and the police. Document your injuries with photographs and gather contact information from witnesses. Avoid discussing fault or giving statements to insurance companies, and contact our St. Louis dog bite attorneys promptly to protect your legal rights and begin building your claim.
Successful dog bite claims typically require medical records documenting your injuries, photographs of wounds, witness statements, animal control reports, proof of the dog’s ownership, documentation of prior aggressive behavior (if applicable), evidence of your damages (medical bills, lost wages), and expert testimony regarding long-term impacts. Our St. Louis attorneys will help collect and preserve all critical evidence.
The timeline varies based on case complexity, injury severity, and insurance cooperation. Simple cases may settle in 3-6 months, while complex cases involving serious injuries might take 1-2 years, especially if litigation is necessary. Missouri’s 5-year statute of limitations gives time to build a strong case, but we recommend acting promptly to preserve evidence and maximize your compensation potential.
