Dog Bite - Attack - Attorney Pittsburgh, Beaver, Washington Counties

DOG BITE
INJURIES
Dog Bite or Attack.
It is unfortunate when man's-best-friend
causes injury to any person. In many
instances, it is the pet owner who caused the
pet to become dangerous and/or not propertly
restrained. You should not have to pay for
another person's mistakes especially if you are
left with medical bills, pain and suffering,
scaring, lost work, and other damages. You
may be entitled to compensation if you were
hurt while fleeing from an unrestrained and
agressive animal and no bite occurred.

What Next?
You need to preserve the evidence following
the attack. For example, you should take
pictures of your injuries, comply with hospital
or doctor orders for follow-up treatment, save
receipts for your expenses (medical and
otherwise) and get a medical release from
work if needed.

We Can Help.
Let us work with your health care providers to
prevent your bills from going into collections.
We will also gather your medical records, get
expert reveiw, and built the best case possible
to maximize your recovery. We will do all the
necessary investigation, and we will personally
go to the scene of the incident. We will work
to convince negligent party (or her insurance
company) that the incident happened exactly
as you say.

Don't Sell Yourself Short.
Your ability to recover for an injury could
depend on the wording of expert medical
opinions in your medical records. Your personal
injury case could be worth more (or less) than
you know. It pays to let an experienced
attorney evaluate all the evidence and
negotiate with the wrong doer's insurance
carrier.

FREE CONSULTATION.
We offer a free consultation on all personal
injury cases. Any lawyer in our firm can give
you a preliminary evaluation of your case and
make sure you fully understand your rights. We
will obtain your medical records and get the
most accurate evaluation of your case's
money value. In particular, we will obtain your
emergency room, hospital, chiropractic,
physical therapy records and diagnostic tests
for a precise analysis. We will also consider
any pre-existing conditions and whether the
accident caused an aggravation of the
pre-existing condition versus a new sprain,
strain, fracture, scar, broken bones, scarring,
or other injury. We handle cases in Allegheny
(Pittsburgh), Beaver, Butler, Cambria
(Johnstown), Fayette (Uniontown), Somerset,
Washington, and Westmoreland (Greensburg)
Counties. We will also speak with the district
attorney to glean the status of pending
criminal charges against a defendant. Our
lawyers also handle cases involving fraud
and/or concealment, asbestos or a dangerous
work environment that caused asbestosis or
mesothelioma. Our attorneys handle a wide
array of cases. Attorney Todd W. Elliott
focuses his practice in the area of personal
injury.
