Types of Dog Bite Cases We Handle
At Rodriguez Law Firm, we represent victims who have suffered injuries in a dog bite or animal attack that wasn’t their fault. Whether the attack happened at a private home, on public property, or in the course of your work, our attorneys have the experience to hold negligent owners accountable.
Dog bite claims can arise under different legal theories depending on your state—including strict liability, owner negligence, or the “one bite” rule. We handle all of them.
We regularly represent clients in cases involving:
- Unprovoked attacks at private residences: when a dog escapes or is allowed to approach a visitor, guest, or stranger without warning.
- Dog bites in the course of employment: delivery drivers, postal workers, utility technicians, and other workers bitten while performing their duties.
- Attacks on public property: bites that occur on sidewalks, parks, or other shared spaces where owners have a duty to restrain their animals.
- Attacks on children: representing minors and their families following dog bites in yards, neighborhoods, or near schools.
- Landlord liability cases: where a property owner knew of a dangerous dog on the premises and failed to act.
- Multi-dog attacks: involving more than one animal, or cases where the owner’s history of negligence is a factor.
- Severe and disfiguring injuries: pursuing full compensation when a victim faces surgery, scarring, or long-term medical treatment.
- Wrongful death claims: pursuing justice for families who lost a loved one as a result of a fatal dog attack.
Injuries We Commonly See After Dog Attacks
Dog bites can cause injuries that range from minor wounds requiring a single ER visit to life-altering trauma. At Rodriguez Law Firm, we represent victims dealing with puncture wounds, lacerations, infections, nerve damage, broken bones, scarring, and disfigurement. In more serious cases, we’ve helped clients facing tendon and ligament damage, crush injuries to the hands or face, post-traumatic stress disorder, and permanent disability.
IMPORTANT: The success of your case depends on proving you suffered injuries. You must have records of medical treatment or an evaluation as soon as possible after the attack. Once you’ve received an evaluation, call Rodriguez Law Firm—we can help you continue your treatment at no upfront cost while we work on your compensation claim.
Real Results for Dog Bite Clients
Every dog bite case is different. Below are two examples of results our attorneys have secured for clients—from a workplace bite resolved against an uncooperative owner, to a six-figure settlement for a child and their family.
$7,500 Settlement for Delivery Driver Bitten at Customer’s Door
Our client, a delivery driver, was waiting at a customer’s door when it opened and two dogs escaped, biting him on the hand. He visited the emergency room the same day, received a tetanus vaccine, and was prescribed medication for ten days. He filed a report with animal control. When he attempted to contact the dog owners directly, they were uncooperative. He missed two days of work as a result of his injuries. With an initial insurance offer of $0, attorney Dagoberto Rodriguez secured a $7,500 settlement.
$100,000 Settlement for Minor Child Following Dog Attack
A minor child suffered multiple dog bite injuries in an attack. With an initial insurance offer of $0, Rodriguez Law Firm secured a $100,000 settlement on behalf of the child and their family.
How Much Are Rodriguez Law Firm’s Legal Fees?
At Rodriguez Law Firm, we work on a No Win, No Fee basis. If we don’t win your case, you don’t owe us anything.
In the United States, the contingency fee for a personal injury claim is typically 33–40% of your total settlement. Unfortunately, some attorneys charge hidden fees on top of that—without making it clear upfront.
We don’t believe that’s fair.
At Rodriguez Law Firm, your agreement is simple and transparent: no added expenses, no hidden charges, no last-minute surprises. This will be clearly stated in the first clause of the contract you sign when you hire one of our lawyers to represent you.
