Dog bites and attacks can be very traumatic and leave victims with physical and emotional scars. At Singer Katz LLP we understand the impact these incidents have on individuals and their families in Stratford. We will provide compassionate legal support to those who have been hurt because of a dog owner’s negligence so they get the justice and compensation they deserve.
In Stratford dog bites can cause a wide range of injuries. Some victims may get minor puncture wounds or abrasions while others may suffer serious injuries such as deep lacerations, fractures or infections. These injuries require immediate medical attention and if the victim can’t work during their recovery they will have mounting medical bills and lost wages. Beyond the physical injuries many people suffer from psychological effects such as anxiety, fear of dogs and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). At Singer Katz LLP we will help our clients navigate these challenges by getting them fair compensation for their injuries and emotional suffering.
Liability is a key part of any dog bite case. In Ontario dog owners are responsible for injuries caused by their dogs if it can be shown they failed to take reasonable steps to prevent harm. This can include not keeping the dog on a leash, not properly training the animal or ignoring known aggressive behavior. Our team works hard to gather evidence that shows the owner was negligent including witness statements, medical records and animal control reports. We believe a strong case is built on thorough research and good presentation so our clients in Stratford have the best chance of winning.
When making a dog bite claim you need to know the full extent of your damages. Victims are entitled to compensation for immediate medical expenses, long term rehabilitation and damages for pain and suffering. If the injuries prevent the victim from working they may also need to consider options through a Long Term Disability Lawyer. This can be a lifeline for individuals who are financially impacted by their injuries. At Singer Katz LLP we will help our clients in Stratford explore all their options for compensation so they get the resources they need to recover.
Timing is of the essence in dog bite cases as Ontario has specific time limits or statutes of limitations to file a claim. Missing these deadlines means victims can’t get compensation.
