Dog Bite & Animal Attacks

Seattle Attorney: Animal Attack and Dog Bite Claims

Nearly everyone remembers the vicious neighborhood dogs of their childhood. And people remember these vicious dogs with good reason: dogs attack. Owners may say, "His bark is worse than his bite," but nobody wants to be the one the dog bites to prove the owner wrong.

The Dog Bite Lawyer You Choose Can Make a Difference

At The Gosanko Law Firm, our attorneys have been helping personal injury clients, including victims of dog and animal attacks, through recovery from the physical and emotional fallout from animal attacks and other injuries.

Coping with a dog attack can be emotionally and physically strenuous. We have compassion for dog bite victims and anyone else affected by the animal attack. We know that:

• For parents, the thought of their children suffering dog bites or animal attacks causes nightmares.
• For doctors, caring for victims of disfiguring dog or animal attacks is distressing. Even with extensive plastic surgery, those attacked may remain severely scarred or disfigured.
• For the injured person, there can be long-term physical and emotional effects from a dog attack. They are dealing not just with the physical injuries - scarring on their arms and legs, facial disfigurement, surgery to repair the damage and remove the scars - but emotional injuries as well, such as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other psychological disorders.
• For the community, having dog owners held responsible for the damage done by their animals can be a relief.

Washington Dog Bite Laws

Washington's dog bite liability laws are favorable to dog bite victims. If you were in a public place or were in a place that you had a right to be (you had permission to be on the property), you may be entitled to compensation. The owner is liable for dog bite injuries, regardless of any knowledge of the viciousness of the dog.
