Dog Bites & Animal Attacks

A woman was getting out of her car in the driveway of her home when a Doberman Pinscher leaped over an adjacent fence and attacked her. When representing our client in a claim for damages from the dog bite, our attorney demanded and recovered the maximum limit of the policy covering the dog's owner.

At Bosco, Bisignano & Mascolo, Esqs. in Staten Island, our personal injury lawyers are acutely aware of the trauma and physical injury a dog can inflict in just a few seconds. We have represented postal workers who suffered dog bites while delivering the mail, and children with faces mangled by unprovoked animals.

Our attorneys demand full compensation for victims of dog bites, including damages for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, plastic surgery to repair scarring, and psychological counseling for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In a case involving a fatal animal attack, we assist the family in pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit.
